    Awesome approach! Usability reports are hella boring, I always thought there might be a better way. Now I know there is!

    @tputkey - The reports are simply html / CSS / javascript that use a custom PHP library I built to make them easier to build. The access is given to our clients through the server and HTTP Basic Auth. This makes it really easy for use to manage access without using any extra software. If you have more questions feel free to send me a message. Cheers.

    What software did you use to put the usability report online and to give clients access?
