Worlds Best Periodic Table (ptable.com)

Michael from ptable.com recently used our product to create a demo for this app. At first glance I was a little overwhelmed but upon seeing everything that it can do (Check out the demo) my jaw basically dropped the entire time. This guy has put a TON of work into this and I applaud him, I'm sure students love this thing.

What do you folks think?


I think it's an amazing piece of work (seen the video? whoa). As a former science teacher and longtime coder and netizen I'm guessing it'll become a web-standard and a legend quickly.


Used it in Russian. Due to different word lengths it has a lot of issues with layout re-flowing on mouse overs for certain elements. Interface is very jumpy and irritating.

aka fixed positioning is evil...


Needs to set the font for the popup Wikipedia pages to be something screen-friendly and sans-serif like the font used for the table itself, rather than the default Times New Roman.


This is just simply AMAZING. I wonder why we did not have something like this before :)
