Russell’s “On Denoting” in a reading-focused UI
The on-denoting-companion repository wraps the classic paper with web typography tuned for long reading: comfortable line length, clear hierarchy, and optional companion notes where the project adds them. Hosted on hromp at /denotation/.
Architecture
Static HTML/CSS; no build step required for the reader shell. Content is part of the public_html/denotation tree in the webserver repo or synced from the companion repo.
- Semantic sections for scholarly citation and anchor links.
- Print-friendly styles where applicable.
- GitHub remains the source for collaboration on the companion text and fixes.
Design
The design prioritizes readability over chrome: minimal navigation, high-contrast body, serif/sans pairing aligned with academic reading habits.
