I really like the commitment to retro aesthetics. Last weekend I made an "imaginary astronomy" web app with nearly pixel-perfect Windows 95 theming. :-) http://steveasleep.com/keplverse/

Forth still seems like a language worth learning, not for practical reasons, but for technohistorical context. Maybe my first project should be a sqlite library?

That's a nice one, but why not use MS Sans Serif as a font where available, for maximum effect?

Because I'm on a Mac and wouldn't be able to test it. :-D

I also blogged about the algorithm, if that's of interest: https://blog.steveasleep.com/using-data-from-the-kepler-miss...

Think you can make it into a CSS framework or Bootstrap theme?

That's really nice. I have a stupid amount of nostalgia for the Win95/NT theme.
