What I still don't understand is why there isn't a Wikipedia for explorables.
3b1b's videos are excellent, but if they were interactive, open-source and in a similar model to Wikipedia, people could contribute and improve upon content that is already great.
There are great examples of what is possible with explorables, see Bret Victor, D3.js, distill.pub, observablehq etc. Just no encyclopedic model yet.
