Hell, I vaguely recall visiting pages on this site previously but I never bothered to explore it much to my loss. I've just spent hours on the site, it's so engrossing I lost complete track of time.
The range and breadth of articles is just wonderful, from Geometry and many math topics to interesting history snippets such as Max Born and wife convincing Einstein to stop publication of Alexander Moszkowski's book about his conversations with Einstein, to C.F. Gauss's criticism of his eldest son, which in hindsight seems unjustified, to mathematician E.T. Whittaker's controversial views on the aether and on how much of SR was directly attributable to Einstein—and hundreds of other topics I've yet to investigate.
Anyone who has an interest in mathematics and or science ought to find this site truly fascinating.
Totally agree! I love the simple design. I miss the web when it was like this: a bunch of random pages created by people without the modern junk of responsive layouts, weird scrolling effects, animations, loading animations, overuse of CSS, etc.... I used to LOVE web design but I would never in my life consider modern web design. I still do it for fun though and I usually try and make all my stuff minimal.
