Looks like interesting work, but the main chart doesn't work for me in Firefox or Chromium - it seems to be yoked to your scroll position (why?!) so by the time you've scrolled down to the '2014' paragraph, which makes it chart the full time-series, you can't even see the graph in the first place... Data viz run amok.

I worked on this project. Can you share your screen size, device, and browser version?

FF 53.0.2 (64-bit), Chromium Version 58.0.3029.96 Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit); using a big Dell in portrait mode. Screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/vFhNc By the time I've scrolled down far enough to activate the animation, the graph has disappeared.

ah I think it's due to the high viewport height that we didn't account for (it's rare, but in your case, it broke the code). thanks!

Like @Asdfbla, I'm on 2560x1440 and have the same issue. The viewport is likely the issue =)

I have the same problem on Firefox a 2560x1440 monitor. (Still very nice presentation though.)

Works for me on Chrome 58 and Firefox 53 on Windows 7. When it displays correctly, the way the animations tie to the text as you scroll is pretty nice.
