Interactive Chart of the Nuclides — IAEA data, pan/zoom canvas
In 1987 I tried to build a Chart of the Nuclides on a 9-inch Mac. Hand-typed isotope data from the Table of Isotopes. The screen was too small and I gave up.
In 2026 I built it properly — 3,386 nuclides, live IAEA decay data, pan/zoom canvas, magic number lines, half-life color scale. AI-assisted development made the gap between "I could imagine this" and "this exists" much shorter than it used to be.
Almost 40 years from inception to completion. Some projects take a while.
