- zelphirkalt 3y agoI don't understand what I am seeing on https://www.lmfdb.org https://www.lmfdb.org, but frontend developers take note: See how quick informative websites can be even with server side rendered templates? And still the website looks consistently styled and actually kind of neat.
- ykonstant 3y agoYup, a couple of months(weeks?) ago, I submitted that website as an example of good information density, responsiveness and ease of navigation. Regarding content, it started as a database of modular forms, indexed by various specialized numerical data; since then, it has grown to a repository of all kinds of number theoretic data, including number/function fields, elliptic curves, various special functions and much more.
- anonymous_sorry 3y agoOn my phone the default navigation text size is too small and the front page only uses half of the vertical height of my screen in portrait. Some of the input boxes stick out past the header bar on the right hand side of the layout. Firefox for Android.
- kevinventullo 3y agoSame on Chrome for iOS.
- basch 3y agoI probably don’t fall into the majority on this one, but I wish more websites basically defaulted to a zoomed out default and let me pan around them on mobile. I would much prefer it to modern non-dense information sparse screens with tons and tons of scrolling. When it doesn’t work, is when column width is too wide to fit on a vertical screen at once, which isn’t a problem here when zoomed in.

- cma 3y agoThe default android browser used to let you just double tap to reflow text to the current zoom level, mostly like reducing the window width on desktop.
- hexo 3y agoVery nice website although I don't understand why it needs googleapis spyware access. It is something I'd never allow.

- ykonstant 3y agoVery good observation; I will ask them.
- wjnc 3y agoThis was the content in a few of the generals-stories following the Tao generals link a few days ago. I feel pretty smart right now not knowing a thing what this is about. (A few minutes later…) What a great read OP is!
