Oh how I'd wanted to have this when I was a kid learning an instrument. I had all these questions but no one had a answer for me. Music teachers were like "because it's the 3rd, or because it's the 5th". If I could go back in time I'd show them this. THIS! SEE IT! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW!

Reading this guy blog posts makes me feel like when I was reading as a kid good pop-science article in the magazine or encyclopedia. Somehow it's easy to follow, nicely visualise and I can trust his work was verified because he was writing like this far before AI.

The progression here is what impressed me most... You start with individual air molecules bouncing around and somehow end up understanding harmonics, interference and etc. Love this kind of articles!

Agreed. Who these days still takes the time to go though a topic with such care, and frankly, artistry..

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.

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

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.

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

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

He is the OG all of visualization after tufte and victor
So we have Turing test. We now need Bartosz test for AI for general intelligence. give it concept, get it explained like this :)

My 10 yo son just spent an hour clicking through the widgets and, frankly, learning quite a lot, with just a few additional explanations from me. Another hit from Bartosz!

Your question pointed me to look and here - Bartosz (read Bartosh like Shalom) has a Patreon page. You can even see what he's working on. patreon.com/ciechanowski
Wish he would do some physics lectures. I always wanted to understand how antennas work.
