I did a bunch of things :D I am not a frontend engineer (I am MLE) so I don't have the prowess to create things like this. I am heavily inspired by 3blue1brown and I love creating interactive explainers for ML concepts like this. I previously created this as well arkaung.github.io/interactive-eigenvector/. I heavily used Claude to get to the the exact design, typography, and style I want (there was a lot of hand holding to get to this state). I heavily influenced Claude on how I want the explainer to flow, how I want to make things intuitive, the kinds of mathematical concepts I want to visualize (and how). So all in all, a lot of hand holding for the Coding agents to get to where I want and exactly how I want.

But at the end of the day it is just vanilla HTML, CSS and JS without anything fancy :D MathJax 3 was used to render math stuff.

The fonts, the cards, the copy are all hallmarks of Claude Code.

While the aesthetic doesn't spark joy for me, the overall execution is great, the presentation flow and interactive boxes are very nice.
