The explorable is live!
Added 2018-10-26 18:56:05 +0000 UTCFull explorable series available here: https://eater.net/quaternions
Thanks again for all your valuable feedback during the last month. The comments here and the in-person conversations we had really helped to shape the experience. I'm guessing it's still not perfect, with hundreds of alterations that could be made, but I'm happy with where it is now. If you find this valuable, given that this medium doesn't get to be algorithmically recommended the way YouTube videos do, it'd be extra helpful if you wanted to share it to spread the word.
For Patreon purposes, given the per-video model, and given that this is a little weird being 8 small videos plus a whole pile of bespoke web development to make it possible, here's what I'm thinking: The total amount of actual teaching content is a little over 40 minutes, which is akin to two longer-form 3b1b videos, so I'll treat this as two paid posts. The first came last month, with the beta release (back when I foolishly thought the public release was right around the corner), and the second will be this post here.
And now, after spending a few months of my life deep in Quaternion land, on to the next project!

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I think for anything explorable in the future, more concrete questions like that are a must.

2019-02-22 20:41:23 +0000 UTCThe procrastination devil on my shoulder always whispers that watching your videos is going to require thinking hard and pondering, and he is right, but again and again when I finally watch them, the experience is awesome. This time, it is apparent that the amount of effort you have put into it is much bigger than usual (and obviously the "usual" amount of effort is already gigantic), and as expected, the explorable videos are fantastic. Thanks!! (A very minor feedback - it really helped when you asked about the results of specific multiplications in the video. In such cases, there was no question about pausing the video and trying to solve by myself. Maybe a little more such questions would have been even better.)

2018-10-27 18:56:13 +0000 UTCWow, This is great! The idea of explorables for learning and communication has been around for quite some time and I've seen a few attempts, this is one of the best for sure!

2018-10-27 15:58:48 +0000 UTCYour animations have always been what has made your videos so powerful: giving a visual intuition of what are usually presented as abstract concepts. Being able to grab the knobs and play around with the picture is really next level!

2018-10-27 00:05:53 +0000 UTCThis is fantastic. Thank you. ALSO, when you put your curser over the Pi's eye and it goes away. That is thoroughly too cute.
