This is mine. I spent quarantine greatly upgrading it from its previous design from roughly 2007 (old.ptable.com) which itself was a great upgrade to how it looked in 1997 (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;19990208231647&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dayah.com&#x2F;periodic&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;19990208231647&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dayah....</a>). It uses no frameworks or libraries and has a payload size of ~64K if you use an ad&#x2F;tracker blocker, and that includes all the property data and WebGL orbitals rendered from the Schrodinger equation on the Electrons tab. Fully keyboard accessible with arrows&#x2F;tabs. One controversial feature is fit-to-window that uses some elaborate CSS math (no JS) to keep the size fixed as you switch from topbar to sidebar or turn Wide on&#x2F;off.<p>A lot of functionality is hidden, which is why I have the 100-second demo video: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ptable.com&#x2F;demo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ptable.com&#x2F;demo</a>. Would love to hear impressions or feedback as staring at it for months has blinded me to first impressions&#x2F;annoyances.

This is absolutely one of my favorite sites - especially since the responsive design update. The isotope search is absolutely gorgeous, along with the new format, in general. I may be a bit biased though, since it was this website that got me into web development and serious programming in general. (At that time, ptable wasn&#x27;t responsive and I wanted to create a different periodic table site that had that feature). I&#x27;m glad ptable is being featured here - while I was at college I was surprised to find that not a significant majority of people knew about the site. Even for high school chemistry, it&#x27;s orders of magnitude easier to use compared to the textbook or online ad-hoc element search queries.

I liked Compounds features so much. Playing alchemy for a real.

This thing could be so helpful during my chemistry classes. We need more of this. Great job!<p>I also like how you can select isotopes in Isotopes tab in Z-axis.

Check out also a beautiful periodic table constructor from Moscow that won IF design award: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;periodic.artlebedev.ru" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;periodic.artlebedev.ru</a><p>(About the project: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.artlebedev.com&#x2F;mendeleev-table&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.artlebedev.com&#x2F;mendeleev-table&#x2F;</a>)

Wow. Super cool. I really liked the temperature slider.

For some reason no one has done a periodic table showing trends in periodicity, weight, size, electronegativity etc.

This is really, really cool! Wish I had had this back in chemistry class.

human universe is not so hot. please log scale toward smaller values.
