Thank you! Always happy to meet a fellow developer in this niche.

Have you built a web app or a mobile app? I'd love to check out your work if you have a link!

Hey Jack, I built an I Ching tool earlier this year using arrow.js. I tried to stick with vanilla JS at first but it proved difficult to maintain. My tool uses a casting method that results in the same probabilities as when one uses the Yarrow Stalk method, but doesn't include a yarrow stalk simulation. I briefly considered creating a 3D simulation of the yarrow stalk casting method but never got around to it. I find it interesting that someone had a similar idea.

My I Ching tool is located at classicofchanges.com

I checked out your site—having the full index on a single page is actually super handy for quick referencing.

And I totally relate to the 'Vanilla JS vs Framework' struggle. I ended up choosing Next.js precisely because managing the state for the complex probabilities (6/7/8/9) was giving me a headache. Respect for sticking to the raw math!

Hello there. I'm also an I-Ching developer.

Thanks for sharing neoching.com!

It is really cool to see how different developers interpret the same ancient text. I noticed your approach is very direct and efficient with the results.

Keep going!
