Ask HN: Share inspiring examples of content that presents complex topics well!

2 pointsby ace_of_spadesabout 5 years ago
Dear HN community,<p>I am currently working on a redesign for a website that aims to communicate complex topics that build on a lot of science and research (sic., a website about effective altruism [1]). In this context, I was trying to think of inspiring examples that really communicate complex content well. Some examples that come to my mind are:<p>* Papers on Distill<p><pre><code> * https:&#x2F;&#x2F;distill.pub&#x2F;2020&#x2F;attribution-baselines&#x2F; </code></pre> * The key ideas section on 80,000hours.org<p><pre><code> * https:&#x2F;&#x2F;80000hours.org&#x2F;key-ideas&#x2F; </code></pre> * Science videos on youtube from channels like kurzgesagt or beautiful science<p><pre><code> * https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=WSKi8HfcxEk * https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tZ-6rFEM2o4 </code></pre> Do you have other inspiring examples of website or multimedia content that made you interested in and helped you understand a complex topic well?<p>1: see for example: effectivealtruism.org
