Explained Visually is an experiment in making hard ideas intuitive.
See the live site at setosa.io/ev.
Feel free to post more topic ideas as issues.
To get setup with the project locally, you'll need to first run
npm install
Then, fire up the testing web server
node server.js --dev=true
And also gulp in a seperate terminal tab
gulp
Now you can open up a browser at http://localhost:3000/ev/
to see the site.
To deploy, I run gulp --no-watch
to make sure all the static resources are up
to date. then make export
to copy all the static files from _static
to the
setosa site.
