As part of a fascinating bit of history, Cistercian Numerals were used by monks in medieval times to record 4 digit numbers.
Once you know the pattern they are easy to read and make for cool looking graphics. So I decided as a proof of concept to make a clock that renders them.
See the clock in action here
To better encapsulate the SVG rendering, I made a Web Component which is easy to consume
<wc-cistercian value="1234"></wc-cistercian>I thought about making this consumable by other people... but I have my doubts that anyone would be interested. If you wish to use either the web component or svg or other part of this repo, please submit an issue here.
