The mLab

This is a parody of the nLab, a wiki for collaborative work on category theory and higher category theory. As anyone who's visited is probably aware, the jargon can be absolutely impenetrable for the uninitiated -- thus, the idea for this project was born!

Once you generate a page, you can link to it using the hash url displayed; loading the site with no hash or following any link in the body will get you a new random page!

How it works

This project uses my package nearley-generator, a module that can turn a Nearley grammar into an efficient and controllable fake text generator. The grammar file for this site can be found at /src/grammar/nlab.ne

Inspiration

This project was inspired by Lokaltog's fake git man page generator
