Why link to the forum post linking to the utility? |
Linking to the post has the advantage that the post provides useful context (it introduces and describes the web app, instead of just linking to it). There is no need to choose between the two, though - since footnotes are preferable to inline external links, here is a possible way to put both links to a footnote. |

David Arthur Eppstein is a computer scientist, mathematician and Life enthusiast from California.
For many years Dr. Eppstein maintained the "Gliders in Life-Like Cellular Automata" online database at fano.ics.uci.edu/ca/. That website has been offline since sometime in 2018, but there have been updates to the underlying database, and a replacement online search utility for the database has since been created.[note 1]
Notes
- ↑ The replacement web app is available by this direct link; see also a forum post introducing and describing the "gliderdb-searcher" utility.
