I keep on meaning to finish a redesign of the oeis site that I started a few months ago[0]. I've only spent a day on it so far, but I'm hoping it makes the site far more approachable to new comers.

Some feedback: it lacks a search button. I mean, you can type a sequence, but have to hit the enter key to search. I'd expect at least some mouse-pressable button to be there that searches too (either the magnifying glass that's already there, or a button labeled "search").

You may say that "it's good enough you can press enter", however the site starts out already showing you the digit sequence "1, 2, 3, 6, 11" so you don't need the keyboard, but no way to actually search for it using only the mouse.

Second feedback: it shows icons that look like a maple leaf in the top right without any explanation what it means, perhaps a tooltip could show what this maple leaf means? Idem for the other icons there.

Third feedback: you have to individually click a full expand and then in addition expand all the subsections to view them... at least a dedicated page to entries should show everything immediately.

Final most important feedback: it doesn't have individual URL's to the sequences anymore! That seems an important missing feature. It only shows results in ephemeral rendered boxes on the main page, no way to link to an individual entry! Clicking an entry should open its individual page. Middle mouse clicking should open it in a new tab like a real link does.

This was incredible feedback, thanks so much for taking the time to write it out. I've implemented 2, 3 and 4. You can now directly link to pages[0] and it'll auto-expand all boxes. The icons are intended to show whether the sequence has a code submission attached. There's now a popover attached to them to explain this.

1 will take some design work, and I've only got an hour or so to work on it now. I definitely agree however that a 'submit' button on a search is essential.

Wow thanks for implementing all those improvements!

I really like what you did, great work! Please post it whenever you feel it's ready. I'd love to see the code too.
