I'm not sure what you dun'did, but you made it worse (visually). [•] https://i.imgur.com/aAnz6w1.png > Wasn't so cluttered before — the elements were squares (not tallcats). Silver's typo remains .
Much prettier. Could easily have larger pop-ups (entire point is to get information on elements, no?) https://i.imgur.com/IVx5MY5.png>
Heck, even have a link to Wikipedia articles (why not?). You're obviously in the enjoyment of information sharing =D
You also have plenty of space for an example element (e.g. describe what each line represents e.g.g: density, atomic mass, proton/element #). The map's "key" if you will... not everybody knows these standardized chemnerd properties (you can then also remove the 120+ "RT" by simply placing in example element @STP, with a link to what that means, too).
Just feedback from a fellow dork am.chem.

Thanks for all the feedback. Added in all your suggestions
To streamline the UI, might I suggest replacing example element (copper) with just the explainers, next to hydrogen [2]... using that elements information (without adding a free-floating copper).
If that doesn't make sense, let me know.
Thanks for being a responsive educator.
[2] perhaps use Beryllium for your example/explainer -- because then you can explain the electron orbitals too ..?

Replace the topbar (color==atomic class) location to between Group II & III elements (e.g. whitespace between Be B); does not need to be explained on example element text.
The chemists have retained until today the obsolete prejudice that 0 is not a number equivalent with any other cardinal number. Because of this, all published periodic tables are missing 1 chemical element. Ignoring the artificial oganessian (of which it is not possible to make more than a few atoms that decay instantly), the column of the noble gases must have 7 noble gases that are encountered in nature: neutron (Z…
When adopting zero in that way, to be consistent you’d also have to consider “nothing” to be an isotope of neutron.
But the real answer is that chemical elements imply atoms, and atoms imply the combination of a nucleus and bound electrons. The neutron is considered a subatomic particle.

Every Show HN should come with a disclosure detailing exactly how much compiler was used to create it. I mean it's not that using compilers is bad, it's just that those who use them aren't real coders.
You had to change the end because following it through actually made total sense. You kinda pulled a trick, no doubt to convince yourself if I’m being fair to you.
You simply described what you wanted in more abstract far less specific language.
Before we were at least 2 compilation/translation steps removed from machine code, now we are 3.

The same is true for hydrogen ionized once, helium ionized twice, lithium ionized thrice, and so on. From the point of view of chemistry, a neutron is not more subatomic than a hydrogen nucleus or any other nucleus. There is indeed a difference between the nuclei with A = 1 and the nuclei with A > 1, because the latter can be decomposed into the former at high enough temperatures, of a few tens of MeV, similarly to the decomposition of any multi-atomic molecule at high enough temperatures.
"Nothing" is not an isotope of neutron, for the same reason why it is not an isotope of sulfur or of iron, i.e. the mass number A is defined as a positive integer number and there is no reason to define it otherwise. On the other hand, the atomic number Z can be defined as an integer number if antimatter is also considered, or as a non-negative integer when applicable only to ordinary matter.
Considering neutron as a noble gas like the others simplifies certain descriptions by eliminating special cases that must be considered separately.
The noble gases can usually be ignored in chemistry, because they typically do not participate in chemical reactions, but in nuclear reactions there is nothing special about them, so the noble gases, including the neutron, participate in nuclear reactions like any other elements.
I can indeed see some UI patterns that are indicative of vibe coding. So what? Did something like this exist before, with the same level of interactivity? I certainly had not come across it. Should Show HN be exclusive to hand-crafted code that demonstrate software mastery? Where things are going, that would be a slippery slope. I think we should be celebrating what is possible using this new generation of tools, and…
You’re kind of talking to a straw man here. I didn’t read anything against the use of AI, just that they’d rather not spend time reviewing AI code. This is reasonable not to want to spend time reviewing something the author hasn’t spent that much time on. Maybe the preference would be to review AI code with AI, but we need to know in order to make that choice.
