Show HN: Interactive Periodic Table in JavaScript

  • Very cool! I like the design. Would you consider applying filters on selection, without having to click the "Apply Filter" button? Feels smoother & more intuitive this way.

  • Great job, looks really nice.

    I have one suggestion. The colours are not colourblind-friendly. I suggest a colour palette picker (based on types of colour deficiency issues) or an ability to toggle subtle gradients.

  • What's the name for that law when there's something you never think of and then you encounter multiple times really quickly? Because a couple of days ago, Bob Kerns published a really cool Periodic Table input element on Observable:

    https://observablehq.com/@bobkerns/elements-input

    (not to take anything away from the submitted periodic table - they're both really nice)

  • Is there a mobile/responsive version planned? It is currently simply condensed and unreadable on smaller viewpoerts.

  • I still like https://ptable.com/ better

  • Oh wow. Thanks for sharing. This'll definitely be useful for my kids studies. It would be even better if filtering happened automatically when selecting options.

    Edit: Oops. I should be paying more attention to comments as someone already suggested this.

  • this is super cool! i clicked on the group names on the right thinking the filtering will happen automatically but you have to select them and apply on the left.
