I love POV-Ray. I learned about it in college when I was trying to find things to do on my gaming desktop that weren’t gaming. It’s so much fun to mess with and make different things with. There’s some super impressive examples and stitching the images together is a lot like magic. It’s honestly really satisfying to use. I imagine a lot of people can use it. I made dice with it already. https://www.henryschmale.org/…

HN discussionhttps://www.henryschmale.org/2022/03/14/rsa.html I made an RSA demonstration tool that got featured on hackaday. I never submitted it to HN, but I want to share it now. It shows all the intermediate operations for doing RSA.

HN discussionI would use vite to build it. Avoid next like the plague. Vite is great for things like this. I've also stuck them in by themselves using tsc and react-min.js or maybe I ran it through babel by hand. IDK. https://www.henryschmale.org/2022/03/14/rsa.html
