  In the reddit post, it is clear the person who came up with this didn't want it to be copied. I feel sad for that person.

  In the same vein, a few years ago, somebody implemented procedural decorations for a recreation of Byrne's "Elements of Euclid" in LaTeX: https://github.com/jemmybutton/byrne-euclid(bottom of the readme)

  Nice. I like that different print runs will have different procedurally generated flowers; nice touch.

  This is beautiful, thank you!I just asked Deepseek 4.1 Flash to convert it to an Obsidian extension that uses the file-name as the seed, and the result [1] is exactly something I've been dreaming of for so many years while I take daily notes.[1] imagepaste.org/i/8zu627ud.png

  Very impressed with both the cool idea and visuals, as well as the technical details. Had no idea you could do animations in Latex/PDF. So beautiful! Thank you for sharing

  I love it!!! I've tried years ago to make something like this, it didn't work out. But it makes me so happy to see that you did it! Great job!

  I think the phrase 'florilegium' must be an AI basin of sorts as I've had it suggested by AI as a name for a few projects of my own.

  There are (many) times lately where I have become completely disillusioned with software, despise it at work and at home. But then I see something beautiful like this and feel marginally better.

  Now do it in Typst.Edit: sad that is AI. And that explains why it's in LaTeX
