I obviously haven't finished reading the entire post, but I wanted to simply appreciate the hard work that has gone into this. I absolutely love interactive articles. Great job!

Impressive work! Nit on design: in first ~3 attempts to scan through the page to see if it is worth reading, i found myself stopping very early when the black background started given it usually signals a footer and end of useful content. The only reason I ended up discovering there is more content was the sanity check that if it is HN front news there has to be more to it :)

Although I knew most of technical aspect described having immersed myself in Photography several years ago, I cannot express properly how GOOD this article is. The sliders and diagrams are brilliant for helping a layperson understand how it all works. Kudos!

You'd like their other work :

https://ciechanow.ski/lights-and-shadows/

https://ciechanow.ski/gears/

https://ciechanow.ski/tesseract/

Etc.

Check out the whole blog! It's amazing.

These are some of the most intuitive explanations coupled with the slickest animation / demo work I've ever seen. All of that put together into crystal clear educational material is such a rare gem and requires incredible talent.

Impressive as hell.

I hope someone is paying them to do this full time. I'd pay for this.

Very impressive work, the interactive examples are excellent and will help many understand the concepts.

I’m a novice when it comes to anything related to web development so I’m going to go and look at how this type of this is done. Would anyone have and suggestion or recommendations for getting started?

I teach fluid mechanics with Jupyter and I use pyGEL3D for inserting 3D models but it’s far from ideal. I’ve love to do something like this.

This is beautiful.

I've been working with computer vision since university, but now days work underwater. I guess I should have a pretty good understanding of this stuff, but I still occasionally get caught out by optics.

This is the best possible pre-reading for anyone wanting to jump into the field.
