Thanks for flagging this. Our server was a little overwhelmed from HN (we're a new site and haven't handled this much traffic before). We're implementing more graceful error handli…

Hi HN, I'm one of the creators of Realtime, I'm an engineer who has been working as a data journalist for a while now. A colleague and I built this with an aim of making it easy fo…

Yes, we're continuing to improve the templates so they are better on mobile. This all came out of a research project so there are many rough edges, but we're making progress! If an…

Hi HN! So cool to see this on the front page. I'm a CS PhD student at University of Washington, this is one of my research projects. If you're interested in more details you can se…

We're working on this with https://idyll-lang.org/ , it does some of the things you mention already (standard conventions for how to do common tasks, standard set of widgets, handl…

You might be interested in Idyll [1], a project that I started as part of my research at UW. One of the explicit goals is to make it easier to create explorable explanations. [1] -…

Hi all, I've been leading the charge to put this together. Its built on Idyll [1], which I'm developing as part of my PdD at the University of Washington. You may have seen some of…

https://idyll-lang.org/ is built for this. You'll still have to write code for your custom graphics but it will help you get things up and running quickly. Check out https://mathis…

This looks great! I might try to make a theme for https://idyll-lang.org/ that utilizes the components.

Thanks for this great feedback. I hadn't considered the difference between distortion in each of the strings vs applied overall, but that makes sense. [edit] as korethr described a…

Thanks! That is a great tip about tuning a string slightly flat first.

Thanks Mike. The sound is using tone.js [0] (with a slight modification to make the tuning work). The rest is built with - idyll (for the overall structure of the post) [1] - d3 wi…

Sorry to hear about the audio issues! I tested on chrome and macOS, and didn't encounter anything like that. I'm curious what OS you're using, or maybe its just Google's new 'smart…

Hi HN - I'm one of the authors of this post and I lead an open source software project called Idyll that tries to make it easier to write interactive posts like this for the web. T…
