This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

%N A005866 The coding-theoretic function A(n,8).
%C A005866 Since A(n,7) = A(n+1,8), A(n,7) gives essentially the same sequence.
%C A005866 The next term, A(25,8), is known to be at least 4096 and at most 5421. - _Moshe Milshtein_, Dec 03 2018
