Not sure if this is common knowledge by now, but one of the mind blowing things about this blogger is he writes these WebGL interactions, seemingly by hand, no framework. Like, best I can tell, keying in the vertices. See https://ciechanow.ski/js/bicycle.js

I love his articles; the one on lenses truly helped me understand how they work at all https://ciechanow.ski/cameras-and-lenses/

I'm always in awe of everything he produces. I read somewhere that he uses helper scripts to generate some code, but it's still all manual labor. It's breathtaking.

I'd be very interested in a meta blog post on how these awesome interactive visualizations are made!

They are available as commentary articles on his Patreon page. Quite insightful, so feel free to give some support and access these.

That might explain why he “only” does 3 or 4 articles per year. He must be typing flat out.
