Monky Business: Creating a Cistercian Numerals Generator

A developer creates a generator for Cistercian numerals, a 13th-century monastic system that represents numbers 1-9999 as single characters. The project includes a web-based generator, a Cistercian clock, and two JavaScript libraries: a simple Node/browser converter that outputs SVG strings, and an advanced version with customization options for SVG, PNG, and Canvas rendering. The implementation uses a coordinate-based approach with a 3x5 grid system and point-connection datasets rather than AI-generated SVG, which initially failed. The code is open-source on GitHub.
