## Contents
```
index.html single page, no build step, no dependencies
img/ 36 WebP images (4 area maps, 32 close-up sheets)
fonts/ Archivo and Martian Mono, variable, self-hosted
```
Total size is about 7.6 MB. Nothing loads from a CDN, so the page works with no
internet connection.
## Running it locally
Open `index.html` in a browser. That is all.
If Chrome blocks the fonts over `file://`, serve it instead:
```
python3 -m http.server 8000
```
then open
localhost
## Publishing to GitHub Pages
1. Create a repository and push the contents of this folder to the root.
2. Settings, then Pages, then set Source to `main` and folder to `/ (root)`.
3. The site appears at `https:// .github.io/ /` within a minute or two.
## Using it in the meeting
- The page opens on close-ups, which is the evidence view. Satellite on the left,
counted trees on the right, with the count for each view shown beneath.
- Left and right arrow keys move through the eight close-up sheets for the selected area.
- The dropdown switches survey area.
- "Area map" shows the full extent with every counted tree as a dot.
Download the folder before the meeting and run it from the laptop rather than
relying on the room's connection.
