Rudy,

I have started work on the css. It is hard and will take some time, doing reddit CSS is harder than normal because of Reddits set guidelines to doing it.

I have started to use the Ubuntu touch HTML5 template for somethings, I have managed to get the votes half sorted, font working and some slight design.

One problem I have come across already is the top banner, it is purple in the mockup and it would be better if it were orange to stick with the colour platte guidelines. However, it being orange will take away the impact of the orange line at the top. (From Ubuntu Touch, Unity 8). What do you think would be best to do about that?

It should take me about a week to get it almost production ready, I have a lot of other work to do too.

Those subreddits, /r/ubuntuAppDev and /r/ubuntuFr tryed to do an orange theme, but it's so 2010 ;)
