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.

...and then he (me) cites <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond>, first paragraph.

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.

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

I like that you've chosen to use an actual element for the example / explainer.

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.


check now. And thanks, appreciate the praise, was fun making this thing.

added


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

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.


Fixed, scrolling no longer triggers tooltips

thanks, fixed, first tap now shows the popup, second tap goes to the full page.

Tooltip positioning is poor. Also colours are hard to distinguish and layout of table could be better in mobile.

okay, tried a few more things, lmk

Added, hover/tap any element now shows oxidation states, ionization energy, discovery info, and more; thanks for the suggestion

You make a fair point about terminology. To be precise: our encryption is client-side AES-256-GCM encryption of the stored transcript meaning once transcription completes, the text is encrypted in your browser before being saved, and we can't read the stored transcript without your password. The audio is processed on our GPU during transcription and then deleted."Zero-knowledge" was used loosely a more accurate term would be "client-side encrypted storage". The server does see the audio during processing (that's how GPU transcription works), but the final stored transcript is encrypted with a key derived from your password that never leaves your browser. Update our terminology to be more precise and also the HN thread title. Thanks for the feedback and I hope something in you lives a little again.

> The server does see the audio during processing (that's how GPU transcription works), but the final stored transcript is encrypted with a key derived from your password that never leaves your browser.

You conveniently omit mentioning that the server also sees the transcript before returning it to the client side browser. Whether it is "immediately" erased, is something the client must trust the server to do. You might as well save yourself the roundtrip by encrypting server side, returning the key, then deleting it, same outcome.


Thanks for pushing us on this, you're right. We've updated all our terminology and documentation to be fully transparent: - Security page now explicitly states the server sees audio + transcript during processing - Privacy policy and terms updated with a bit clearer language about what's protected vs what's not For users who need true end-to-end privacy where audio never touches shared servers, we're launching Private Cloud and Self-Hosted options: https://stt.ai/private-cloud/ Your feedback directly shaped these changes. Appreciate it.

Not only that, but feels so, blah in substance too. Like a friend.com or whatever competitor?


I'd love to tell you, but between the weird scrolling behavior & the black-o-black text, I can't figure out what's going on here at all
