We've started doing Explorable Explanations / Animated Explainers, here are some we've done and some that others have done:
- Explaining how GIT works: http://gun.js.org/explainers/school/class.html
- How neurons work: http://ncase.me/neurons/
- How end-to-end cryptography works: http://gun.js.org/explainers/data/security.html
- How gerrymandering works: http://polytrope.com/district/ (by a friend of mine!)
- How sorting on partial data / data streams works: http://gun.js.org/explainers/basketball/basketball.html
And more! It is possible, it can be done. But it is hard. That is no excuse for not trying though. Big shout out to Bret Victor's work for starting a lot of this, and thanks to Feynman for encouraging and practicing what he teaches.
