Ask HN: Examples of articles or content augmented with animated diagrams

1 point

2 years ago

I'm trying to improve my career by sharing some tech knowledge through blog posts. I think using scroll-activated animated diagrams can make my content more engaging and easier to understand. Target audience: non-programmer tech enthusiasts, early/mid career devs.

Looking for examples of blog posts or articles where these types of diagrams are used effectively. Do you know any good ones?

Here's an example of what's I'm thinking of:

As for the tech implementation part: I'm planning to create the diagrams in Figma, export them as SVGs, and then animate them in React. I'm not planning to use anything heavy like D3 or Three.js yet. Any thoughts or advice on this approach?
