Thanks for sharing this -- it's a MVP designed to - get nascent ideas public (personal use case) - find the best analogies/examples used to explain topics - apply these techniques to other topics It needs some iteration to narrow the focus, but my dream of dreams is to visit any topic (Fourier Transform, let's say) and see the best insights that actually helped people understand the idea. Any feedback from HN'ers is more than welcome! Tech details: Running Rails3 [3.0 :)] on Heroku. I prototyped early versions entirely in javascript using jsfiddle.net.

Had this one on my ideas list for a long while now :) Good luck! Perhaps there are some lessons to be learned from what worked and didn't work on rulesofthumb.org?

  Thanks! I hadn't seen that site, appreciate the pointer. One challenge I'm seeing is making it easy enough to contribute yet organized enough to be meaningful. At the bare, bare mimimum I'm finding it useful to collect my own thoughts so I've enjoyed that aspect thus far :).
