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.

Comments

Consider the first, then the first two, then the first three, ..., terms of A000796, i.e., decimal digits of Pi. Look whether the concatenation of a certain number of subsequent digits yields a prime which did not yet occur earlier (and thus necessarily involves the last of the considered digits). If so, add this prime to the sequence.
Contains A005042 as a subsequence.

Examples

			The first digit of the sequence is the prime a(1)=3.
The first two digits, "3.1", yield the prime a(2)=31.
In "3.14" there are no more primes. In "3.141" there is the prime a(3)=41.
In "3.1415" there is the prime a(4)=5.
In "3.14159" we have the primes 314159, 14159, 4159 and 59.
