A while ago I built an interactive tool to display posits (Also IEEE floats etc.): https://mserdarsanli.github.io/FloatInfo/

It is hard to understand at first but after playing with this a bit it will make sense. As with everything, there are trade offs compared to IEEE floats, but having more precision when numbers are close to 1 is pretty nice.

according to wayback machine the domain expired at the end of 2021. Months later it came back with the sneaky ad. Their page at github https://includeos.github.io/ does not have it. It is safe to assume whoever grabbed the domain has no association to the authors.

Project has been dead for many years now btw.
