One of the creators here! Always happy to be mentioned and glad to answer any questions.

A true love of mine, and something I'm loving see slowly grow and appear in our tech and programming community is interactive tutorials and blogs, which personally I feel teach and inspire creativity in a way like no others. This site is built with a library I called tutorial markdown [1], and the whole blog is also open source [2], and has a little indie podcast too [3]

I really want to see this type of experience grow, so yeah, if anyone is working on similar things I'd love for them to share it here (or with me otherwise). Here [4] is a great blog post by John Otander showing off some great interactive blog posts on the web, all of which are very HN worthy in my opinion.

Sure, I also made a tool to generate interactive blog posts and used it to write a couple of articles on pretty niche topics related to generative art. Whenever I have the time to do so, I would love to write more content like that. The framework is here, articles are linked at the beginning: https://github.com/pac-dev/dspnote

Hey all! There's a very active slack community of some 150+ members/artists that was started in the last year or two. I did not start it but we are a very open community.

Feel free to email me at stevan [at @ symbol] dedovic [dot] com and I will gladly share an invite link!

I'll also talk to the person who started it to see if we can put out an invite link here.

Last year, I made the Splash of Code series of short books as a way to teach JavaScript to new programmers through generative art. It's not very popular, but the people who try it seem to like it.
