Stemformulas is a website dedicated to providing a single place to look for STEM formulas. It has a long way to go to become that, but the foundation is laid out.

It was made by a few engineering students who were frustrated with the current state of formula searching online. This frustration lead to the focus of the features of the site, which include:

  • The search bar being in focus on site load, so you can search for a formula quickly
  • LaTeX being copyable by just clicking on it on any formula’s page
  • The / key being used to open the search on any page
  • Formula pages having nice preview images when shared on social media, so people don’t even need to visit the site to see the formula
  • The mobile-friendliness of the site

Tech Stack #

This site is open-source on GitHub.

It is made with the static website framework Hugo using the Congo theme, with many custom HTML/CSS/JS additions from our team.

It is hosted on GitHub Pages, deployed conveniently with GitHub Actions.
