Hi Emily,
The text is fine on my phone. The gray text issue occurs on my laptop
(Ubuntu 14.04, Firefox 30). Sorry that I wasn't clear about that.
And, since I just used the word "issue" above, it occurs to me that I
should actually be using github's "issue" feature rather than emailing
you about it.
Regards,
Jon
