> Agreed. Unfortunately I think this is the inherent limitation to the explosion of such material (Bret's seminal essay [0] was almost a decade ago) - it takes an insane amount of skill, in mostly orthogonal disciplines, as well as a lot of time and effort to make it.

This is what I figured out as well. Often the people that have the knowledge are not the ones who know how to put this on to a webpage in a another form then text and images. Like mygo comments below most explanations are done in interactive news articles but this has to be done with a team of programmers and designers who are working together. I am currently building a tool trying to narrow this gap. The tool is at a very early stage, but I'm sharing early previews at [1]. The goal is to create a tool for interactive visualizations that people without much programming experience can use which outputs something that is more dynamic then just text. Such a tool could never do what could be done with a full blown programming language but I'm hoping to start at an easy to use tool and expand it outwards to more complex visualizations.

Did you take any inspiration from this Washington Post article? [1]

I did not see that article but that is definitely the kind of thing I want to make possible. Thank you for the link!

This is one example of showing information in an interactive way but there are other forms as well. There are currently around 10 other visual representations in the tool (think maps, presentations etc).

It seems as though it’s a developing trend in web design.

Can you share the other presentation forms? I may have some examples for each found out in the wild.
