Morty

A Ruby/Sinatra and D3.js app that could make a good visual companion for interactive journalism

Enables users to easily browse a 128-page PDF, the 2017 Mortality Report, a Summary of Vital Statistics for the City of New York, on death rates by neighborhood. Development still in progress.

The PDF is scraped with the PDF::Reader::Turtletext Ruby gem.
