   I liked this article since it points out a problem in math where it can be hard to know what is currently known. Perhaps a result can be proven using a little known proposition in a completely different area of math, but it is hard to find

   Thanks for sharing this. I had not heard of Zettelkasten, but it is just like the site https://mathlore.org I created to help people collect math knowledge to study, learn, and explore mathematics. That is, just like in a Zette

   I created Mathlore to help students, researchers, and hobbyists learn, explore, and discover mathematics by creating a place where they can collect math knowledge (either in a public collection or their own private collection) and easily di

   I'm working on https://mathlore.org (previously called mathpendium). A site for creating a community driven collection mathematical theorems, definitions, axioms, and conjectures to allow people to share new and existing d

   I've updated Mathpendium based on all of the great feedback I received before, and wanted to share the update. Thanks.

   Actually, that code should be deleted. At one time, I was experimenting with MathJax but don't use it anymore.

    Yes, the goal is to help people know what is known in an area. I will update the docs to make this more clear. I am open to supporting pull requests, but my thoughts were that the custom user interface Mathpendium has allows for an easier

    Thanks for the feedback. This is a known issue, but I am working on other higher priority issues at the time.

    The system is mostly fed by user contributions. Better communicating this is something I need to improve on the site.

    Yes, I'm using katex because I found the API easier to work with.

    Thanks for the feedback. I have a lot of feedback on the need for searching by topic, and it us something I will add. Also, I can add a bio page about myself.

    Thanks for the feedback. I need to work on better communicating that the site is grown through user contributions. That is why the results are currently limited. Also, thanks for pointing out the LaTeX issues. There are a lot of edge cas

    It is more like a reference and a jumping point to books and articles. After understanding the general ideas of a topic it lets you dive deeper. It is definitely targeted towards professional mathematicians, but also those learning math th

    Thanks for your support. I share your views too, which is why I am creating Mathpendium :) Right now I haven't thought about a public API. I am currently focusing on how users use the site since this will provide good feedback for ho

    Thanks for the feedback. The site's growth model more like Wikipedia's growth model in that it grows by user contributions. This is something that I need to better communicate on the site and explains why the site currently has s

    Thanks for the feedback. I have learned that I need to add a way to view things by category. Also the site is grown similar to Wikipedia with user contributions, which is why there isn't as much content now. This is something I need t

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it seems I need to redesign the site to make it easier to navigate and feel less empty. I like your suggestions about adding popular topics. Thanks for letting me know about the error. Right now Mathpendium

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I agree that Mathworld is great. Mathpendium is not meant to replace sites like Mathworld, but to work with them. I think this is something I need to make more clear on the site. That is, sites like Mathworl

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it seems others too have felt the home page was hard to navigate because it was too empty. I will explore ways to make it more clear how to use the site. I'm thinking perhaps a list of categories to expl

    Interesting. The consent for use of cookies dialog should appear the first time you open the site. After agreeing to the use of cookies, the dialog shouldn't be displayed anymore. If you don't mind me asking, what browser and s
