This is super nice to view, could you share how you made it? I want to make something similar for Rotation Matrices
I was also hoping to see more about how the animations were done here. They look great. I love the shifting camera perspectives.

#52I can't tell why, but I'm getting terrible performance on Linux/Brave. The CPU spikes immediately on visit. I'm on a powerful machine (32 GiB RAM, Intel i9 w/ 24 cores).

#53This is fantastic. What a terrific combination of the creative presentation and the clear exposition of information. You've hit on a very nice aesthetic and a stunningly clear articulation of the underlying mechanics.

#54When I first opened it, its basically a bunch of static pages that made absolutely no sense. My first question was 'why is this garbage being #1 on HN?' Then I realized that, unlike the early web with banners of "best viewed in Netscape navigator", this was an unstated "best viewed in google chrome". Alas. At least please check and validate if the site works in Firefox, or notify appropriately. Because this demonstra…
Worked fine for me using Firefox 142 on Linux. Did you have any errors in the console?

#55These used to be super important in early oceanic navigation. It is easier to maintain a constant bearing throughout the voyage. So that's the plan sailors would try to stick close to. These led to let loxodromic curves or rhumb lines. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhumb_line Mercator maps made it easier to compute what that bearing ought to be. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection This configuration…

#56Cool! My first instinct was to scroll. I suggest you treat the scroll down as a signal to move 1 slide further

#57Really love this project, I only have small little UX nitpick: as lefthanded person it is quite cumbersome to tap right side of screen. Go to solution is to navigate using swiping which is ambidexterous.
This is why I love small phones - I’m able to reach and tap with left thumb quite easily on my iPhone SE.

Let's find out where this sentence goes!

Would look into that.
> Brave.
Definitely would look into that.
