#chemicalelements — Public Fediverse posts

Back in 2020 I created an interactive online periodic table displaying all the elements from hydrogen to oganesson. I don't do much web development these days and don't have time to develop it further so if anyone with the necessary HTML/CSS/JavaScript skills wants to tinker with it they are welcome to fork the GitHub repository https://github.com/CodeDrome/interactive-periodic-table-javascript

The project is live at:

The periodic table we know is only the beginning, for just beyond it lie islands of stability and even whole new forms of matter.
