  • Hacker News
  • Does anyone know if Einstein's original papers (in German), Newton, Maxwell etc had diagrams? That would be amazing if they actually drew them.
  • Rather Claudish(?)-sounding README (and even the examples!) aside, this definitely has that early 20th/late 19th-century aesthetic. I think 99% of it is due to the choice of font.
  • The illustrations use https://github.com/jemmybutton/fiziko to get pretty line rendering.
  • Heh, I read the title and thought this was going to be about someone porting legacy publications into Latex code. Anything from Newton's gravity to Marie Curie radium.

    Which would be nice - some seminal publications from not all that long ago are only available as terrible quality scans.
