Many visualizations that I have always wanted but just didn't have the time to build, I now have.
To give an example, I wanted a simplified 8-bit computer to complement the 16-bit teaching computer I use and designed this in a few days with the help of claude:
Mermaid, Graphviz and friends but in HTML pages.
Sometimes it is turning other things into perfetto.dev format for multi-machine tracking (like turn a build process into the same format as Chrome traces).
If you need more flexibility, you end up reaching for p5.js and three js (rather, tell the model to use it).
Once you're touching distance from WebGL, the equivalent of something you make can start looking like something from ciechanow.ski over a single weekend.
What is your thought on D2 compared to those? GIven the WebGL mention (The one I'm familiar with), I suspect this is a matter of interactive vs static/diagrams. I assume the latter due to my own project which falls in that category!
It helps me digest the content faster and allows me to read more articles than I otherwise would.
When I did my microcontroller class with lecturer hand drawing an 8-bit computer, the registers, memory, instructions on the white board, it was v cool to understand how things worked under the hood.
Wondered if someone could make more simulations for what was being taught. Teaching is about deciphering a thing into it's components and seeing how they interact. Vibe coded simulations are a great tool for that.
Sounds like 50/50 for the distribution? That means you are okay with a student getting a 40% across all your quizzes and then passing the class with a C-?
My experience is that no students get a C- except for students who blow the first part of the class and try to work back. I usually work a deal out with them anyway.
