Would be awesome to see some pictures!

View on HN

I've knocked up a quick page:

https://www.solipsys.co.uk/ZimExpt/MonostableTetrahedron.htm...

I was expecting to see the photos, but the jpg are linked there instead of visible. IIRC you were using a self-made CMS for your blog, with more support for math formulas. Does it not allow images?

Everyone complains about how crap my website is, so in this case I've just exported a page from my internal zim-wiki. Yes, it can have photos, but it doesn't give any control over sizing or positioning, so I'm providing links for people to click through to.

It's the middle of my working day and I'm in the middle of meetings, so I don't have time to do anything more right now.

To be fair, I don't think there is anything wrong with clickable links instead of embedded images.

I don't mind the image links. The text weight and contrast could use some work.

Thanks for posting! I'd love a YouTube video too if you get the time later

Your site is fine, thank you very much, I was not able to able to save it in the internet archive though: https://web.archive.org/save/https://www.solipsys.co.uk/ZimE...

"Save Page Now could not capture this URL because it was unreachable. If the site is online, it may be blocking access from our service."

Interesting ... and baffling. I've simply exported that from the zim wiki, not doing anything special, so I have no idea why the internet archive would complain about it.

And it's the other part of my site that people complain bitterly about:

Do you leave it that way out of spite? lol

That really is a MVP. Or perhaps MVD (Minimum Viable Demonstration).
