✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, let me put you on: gperiodic — it's the periodic table application, and it's lowkey iconic 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gperiodic [option(s)] [element_symbol | atomic_number]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

gperiodic is a small X/GTK+-based program that literally lets you browse through a whole periodic table of chemical elements and then view somewhat detailed info on each one of them. it's giving chemistry class but make it cute. 💅

right now it's got 118 elements listed, no cap. the whole table. every single one. periodt. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so here's the tea: if you pass zero options, gperiodic just starts up. that's it. that's the vibe. ✨

• -h — show the help screen. your bestie when you're lost 🫶
• -c <Temp> — color the elements according to their phase at temperature <Temp> in Kelvins. so like, phase vibes, but make it a temperature. 🌡️
• -D — dump the periodic table. just, the whole thing. dumped. 💀
• -v — be verbose. spill the details, queen. 🗣️

💜 Possible arguments 💜

• element_symbol | atomic_number — display information on the element with the given element symbol or atomic number. pick your fighter, either works. 🌈
