In plain words

Interactive factorization diagrams is a tool that visualizes the prime factors of integers using symmetric geometric patterns. Built in Purescript, it allows users to explore different numbers using arrow keys to navigate through diagrams. The tool is designed for anyone interested in mathematics and number theory who wants to see the structural relationships between prime factors and composite numbers visually.

From the sources

Factorization diagrams visualize the prime factors of an integer using a specific symmetric alignment. This is a Purescript version of this great Haskell library . Use the arrow keys to scroll through different diagrams. Some things to try out: large factors of two or three (2 10 = 1024, 3 7 = 2187), primorial numbers (2 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 11 =from david-peter.de

    Hello HN, I made this simple notepad for writing down whatever comes to mind. The goal is to force you to not get hung up on what you’ve already written. There’s no formatting, you can’t edit what you’ve typed, you can’t select text or move your caret around. There’s no backspace, delete, undo/redo, or paste. You can’t even see any words except the one you’re currently typing, and when you’re done with it, it fades away. The text is all still there, just invisible. You can save everything you’ve written as a .txt if you want, or just empty your thoughts and let them disappear forever.…
