A bit of advice: don't put up barriers.

1. Take all the information in the PDF, and put it directly on the website. One click will see less drop-off than two.

2. Add links to your site on all social media posts. An HN user would have to copy-and-paste or type your domain name. Make it easy, like so:

Anybody that has done A/B testing for click-throughs and "engagement" and such knows these "minor" things matter a lot.

With regard to to loading and painting many, many cells in the browser: don't. Compress them into a quadtree. This assumes that acres are stored in a grid, as they appear to be in the mockups.
