Hey wow! Site author here, tons more solutions on Github than I've posted on the site: https://github.com/wholepixel/solving-sol

Sol LeWitt, and his cohort of generative conceptual artists, are really interesting to evaluate from a software engineering perspective, and I hope you'll take a look at what they're all about!

Are all of these solutions available anywhere?

They all seem to simply be html files, so github pages should be able to serve them, but I couldn't see anything.

I need to update the site - at the time I didn't build any automation from the repo to publishing on solvingsol.com

Are you thinking of doing that? I'd love to check back in once all the new drawings are available.

I love this! Where could I find a list of all the artworks? So that I could solve some new ones?

In the Github repo there are a number of unsolved entries, and you can also make a new solution for a "solved" one – since there's no correct answer for any entry.

To see all of LeWitt's work, MassMOCA has an excellent online collection here: https://massmoca.org/sol-lewitt/

MassMOCA (in western Massachusetts) also has a wing devoted to LeWitt's work with wall-sized installations of dozens of them–highly recommend a visit!

Are you aware how poorly it loads on mobile? At least in my safari it’s impossible to make the text fit in any readable manner, I can plain text it but and I did, but it was u readable without doing that.

You're right, it renders terribly on mobile. I'll see if I can find time to fix that today.
