Stupid bug on Android Firefox. Scrolling to the side opens description
Fixed, scrolling no longer triggers tooltips

#32Bug report: in Safari (28.3.1 on macOS Tahoe 26.3.1) the electrons in the configuration pane are orbiting off-centre. Ok in Firefox and Chrome. Also, i think in the timeline you should show a summary of the discovery on hovering over the element, so you don't have to click then go back. Otherwise — nice!
Fixed the Safari bug, replaced CSS transform-origin (broken in Safari on SVG) with native SVG animateTransform which works everywhere.
Also, you can now drag the "Year" slider on the main table to see how the periodic table looked at any point in history. Undiscovered elements fade to near-invisible. Ancient elements (no known discovery date) stay visible.

#332 Criticisms: - On mobile, it's quite hard to hit the X to close an element description. With my specific screen size, I always end up opening Darmstadtium. - The Element quiz hints consistently give away the answer in the penultimate or final clue. Other than that, fun project! Thanks for sharing
Made the moible X 36px now, so easier to close. And removed uses and fun fact clues that gave away answers, replaced with density, melting point, electronegativity, and group number

#34Cool project. Could see this being useful embedded in LMS platforms or educational sites via iframe. Any plans to allow iframe embedding?
Re: Show HN: PeriodicTableOfElements.org
#35Beautiful. Another approach to visualizing the discovery of elements would be a "time travel" feature, where you see a timeline with just years below the table and can click on a year to see how the table looked that year.

#36This has (at least) one error: silver is not the most thermally-conductive element (carbon is, as diamond). It is the most thermally-conductive metal.
Only pointing this out because it is not quite a reference source, yet [1].

Appreciate this, also put in another link in the footer to "Report an Error" just in-case it does become a reference source. No factor of safety in the periodic table of elements.

Thanks for responding well — a neat tool.
As second suggestion: this probably looks great on a cell phone, but on a 50" display you've got tons more space for additional elemental facts/tidbits. Perhaps detect monitor size, then keep simple for phones?
This could additional put the lanthomides into their correct placement (if window widened enough) [0].

Added something, check now?

I'm not sure what you dun'did, but you made it worse (visually).

Wasn't so cluttered before — the elements were squares (not tallcats). Silver's typo remains.
