The page reminded me of Ken Perlins' page:

Yes, the Perlin noise guy among many other things.

I always wish there was more specification surrounding his Perlin noise algorithm he has on his website. For example, asking what the range of output values is does not have an easy answer.

I agree, more should be written about Perlin Noise range. You might find this useful: https://digitalfreepen.com/2017/06/20/range-perlin-noise.htm...

In addition to range I'd like to see the distribution, especially with multiple octaves of noises added together. I haven't found a good page about that.
