I don't have any particular use for this right now but the visualization is so good that I actually followed along and get what it's about. Pretty obvious to say but it's super cool and I wish more projects had this kind of quick intro/overview.
Does anyone know if there are projects/libraries to help build this kind of visualization more generically? I realize that no library could every cover every possible use case, but I'd love some kind of framework that makes it easy to build out this kind of thing.
Reveal [1] is great for a web-based slideshow, but I'd love something that helps explain complex systems, even if that requires me to do some heavy lifting.

I'd estimate it took me about 2 hours to get through it, but it felt very satisfying because I walked away saying "yup, I see how this works now". Give it a shot!
