Why 101?
Short, symmetric, and stupidly easy to remember.
A palindrome
Reads the same forwards and backwards. The URL doesn't care which way you scan.
Prime & proud
101 is the smallest 3-digit palindromic prime. Also an emirp.
Binary vibes
Looks like binary, behaves like decimal. The cool kid of base systems.
The intro course

Featherweight
This whole site is a single file under a megabyte.
