Looking at the finger instead of the moon: I like the HTML layout (responsive, inline images with captions, lateral notes).

Any insights on how it's generated? Markdown, Rst, Latex -> HTML? I would love to produce my documentation in this way.

Edit: I was too hurried. Everything is explained in https://distill.pub/guide/, the template is at https://github.com/distillpub/template

I logged in to comment on the superb design as well. The design doesn’t only make it look good, every aspect is in full support of the content. And technically it’s executed perfectly as well. Very impressive.

I'm incredibly lucky to be working with a number of people who have an amazing intersection of design skills and scientific knowledge.

Ludwig is fantastic and put an incredible amount of work into polishing this article. And my co-editor Shan (who used to do data vis at the New York Times) seems like he has super powers half the time. We also get lots of outstanding advice from Ian Johnson and Arvind Satyanarayan.

Minor note, you should add the field DOI={10.23915/distill.00007} to the BibTeX citation. This is also missing from Google scholar, and is a particular pat peeve of mine now that DOIs are practically mandatory (copying the helpfully-formatted citation but then having to look around the page to find the DOI).

Thanks for the heads-up! We are not sure there is a standard for this, but we now include the DOI in our bibtex citation.

I like this metaphor.

(In case "I like this metaphor" isn't a comment about how you have liked and continue to like it, it's a reference to an old Buddhist saying. I could have sworn it also appeared on the first page of the Tao Te Ching, but I guess I had just remembered the gist.)
