Scrollytelling / Interactive Infographic · editorial · via Fonts In Use

Source: pending · Classification: pending

Steal · component patternNotes by Will
Inline hyperparameter scrubbers let the reader drag learning-rate or epoch sliders directly inside the mathematical figure, updating neural activation heatmaps in real time.
Steal · grid/layoutNotes by Will
CSS Grid academic layout ([screen-start] 1fr [page-start] 64ch [page-end] 240px [screen-end]) lets equations sit in the center measure while interactive figures break out to full page width.

Bartosz Ciechanowski — Explorable Mechanical Watch & Gear Physics

Scrollytelling / Interactive Infographic · editorial · via Dead Simple Sites

Source: pending · Classification: pending

Steal · colorNotes by Will
Prose mentions of mechanical parts ('escapement wheel', 'pallet fork') are color-coded with inline pill backgrounds that match the exact RGB shader color of that gear in the 3D WebGL canvas below.
Steal · motion/interactionNotes by Will
Every WebGL figure starts paused or at calm low speed with a single explicit slider beneath it, never hijacking native page scroll.

Provenance & takedown

Publicly sourced references link to an original; private or concept examples are labelled separately. All referenced work belongs to its creators. What this vault adds — and what it is for — is the commentary: the steal-notes are the content, not the pixels. Notes are written by hand unless their card says otherwise; a model draft is always labelled. Study use only.

Try it in your agent · no key

One command puts these notes inside Claude Code. Without a key the agent sees 5 families and gets 5 calls a day — enough to judge the taste before you rent it. The key opens every family and lifts the meter.
