Not here to comment on the _content_ of the blog post...

Just wanted to say the blog post design looks super nice. Beautifully laid out, very readable typography, clear graphics, approachable design with a welcoming UX, footnotes in the side, etc.

Anybody know how this is designed / styled? (I can see three.js being used, along with katex.js - but don't know more details)

Thanks

UX on the other hand...I hate it when sites hijack my key commands for moving backwards and forwards in my browser history. Please don't do this!

I think the diagrams look very similar to what Keenan Crane uses in his papers, perhaps they used that tool. I think his students have now fleshed it out for general use.

For me it's horrible, some scripts makes the scroll very choppy, unusable... had to disable scripts just to be able to normally scroll :-(
