really nice tool! hope that n-th root and discrete logarithm will be added.

suggestion for addition: the plastic number base ("plastinary"?), which shares interesting properties with phinary.

also corresponding mixed-base but we have perrin sequence and padovan sequence... maybe forget about this.

there might also be primorial base and its recursive version that seems somehow more elegant than factorial.

my idea about some "bijective factorial/combinatorial": 0->0 1->1 2->10 3->102 4->120 5->201 6->210 7->1023 8->1032 9->1203 ... but not sure if the shift-by-one is good.
also i'd prefer showing bijective binary by default.
also in case you're interested, the chinese ordinals 天干(decimal) 地支(duodecimal) 干支(sexagesimal, a tuple of two characters as a digit, starting from 甲子 乙丑, seems that's not yet supported in customization, unless unicode allocates 60 code points for them) may be used to form bijective systems. (though historically in reality the usage is just use one tuple as elements of (Z/60Z)+0.5)

in the binary section, a recent format called posit might be notable. though it's parameterized, there'll be some work on rounding and denormals. however there's plenty of official demo in js and i've heard that some hardware ALU has been produced.

further, i've made a dedicated Chinese huge number reading generator at farter.cn/number that supports several schemes. though it might be bit of out of scope, what i want to say here is that repeating the highest unit is widely accepted (in modern daily life, it's 亿. it's also acceptable to repeat 载 if we pretend to speak like our ancestors.)

about factors-like, here's my invention some years ago (turns out invented by someone else) oeis:A153013 (just ignore this)

finally, this page just completed (some of) my dream. it's just holy. i can safely delete my new folder now.

this is unrelated to your story, but i had a question: in the phonetic explanation of your name, why not just compare it to the word "tree"? in my idiolect of english, it is pronounced exactly the same (unless i am misunderstanding you, which is possible).

also, do you get notified when someone comments on these things, or do you just check new posts regularly enough for that to be unnecessary? thanks.

Hi there, I came across your site and noticed you build conworlds. I don't want to spam but couldn't find another way to get in contact with you. Please take a look at www.mythicalrealms.world where you can create a free 3D world. Perhaps make a full world for one of your conworlds as a nice reference.

Happy worldbuilding!

because *I* don't pronounce "tr" like "chr", and the first time I'd heard that some people do pronounce it like that, I didn't like it because I wanted the consonant cluster in my name to be pronounced differently.

I have the recent comments page (linked on my home page) open in a tab and try to check it regularly (if I remember).
