Vibecoding Euclid

I built a new reader for Euclid's *Elements* while studying for the Catherine Project class _"Ancient Greek Writings on Knowledge and Mathematics."_ I wanted to push myself to vibecode something more frontend-heavy than my usual projects, and to see how much of the math the bots already had baked in. Could Codex turn Euclid's arguments into useful interactive figures? Where would its understanding break down? Codex needed little guidance to build a site with beautiful typography (surely using `/impeccable typeset` helped) and a bit of a push on notation got me to great looking output. I have not read all thirteen books yet, and I know for sure some of the figures and proof renderings are. Certainly, some of the visualizations are silly. You should treat it as an experiment rather than an authoritative edition. Still, I have spent time with a handful of the propositions myself, and building this reader has already helped me understand what Euclid's dense ideas mean, and how they fit…
