Lovely project, I've given it a skim and I quite like the presentation.

The only thing that I would work on would be to rewrite a lot of the website copy since it's a bit heavy with the llm-isms, which gives it an unfortunate sheen.

If theres a repo link, I'd be happy to contribute, since I realize it's no small task.

Completely a fair point. Definitely was heavily, heavily AI built (including the copy) - there is no way I could have justified putting in the time it would have taken to build this for a "pro-bono" project pre AI! Even with AI, I've spent a considerable amount of time steering, editing, and revising (including some of the most egregious AI adds).

Would absolutely appreciate edits and revisions. Repository here:

Thanks for the feedback! Vann

I totally understand, thanks for sharing the repo, I'll do my best to pitch in. Always happy to support making history more accessible!
Really hugely appreciated. I'm doing an AI pass at removing some more of the AI-ism's. It came up with some good suggestions. I'm reviewing and should have those in before long. I'm sure it won't be complete, but might give a better starting point.

Thanks again!
