I've seen a lot more of these types of visualizations pop up in blogs recently but they don't feel as high quality as the ones on this site.

On one hand, it's great that more people are able to more easily make things like these. They're a great tool for understanding, but obviously an enormous amount of work.

But on the other hand, I also wonder if those that get pumped out now, also uses up all the oxygen in the room for the really great ones.

Like, someone shoddily slaps together one for concept X. It's not great, has some misunderstandings, and what it visualizes is mostly random and not the vision of the maker. But it goes semi-viral, and beat everyone else to the punch. So it ruins someone else's motivation to do it properly.

And, crucially, all hand-written, vanilla JavaScript. Absolutely an artisan.

Because he's writing the WebGL code by hand. It was crafting these entries, not merely producing them for internet points.

I think the author gave up posting new stuff because of it. The work isn't as appreciated as before.

He is the OG all of visualization after tufte and victor
