The website is awesome, thanks a lot for making it and raising awareness of what explorable explanations are!

I would like to suggest to add a section about the tools to make explorable explanations. I know most are currently done from scratch, but there are already a few frameworks that are specializing in explorable explanations to make it easier to create them. I think this would be very useful for the people that would like to get started in creating explorable explanations.

Here is a quick list of the ones I have found:

Awesome!

Also I didn't think about it before, but I have just tested on a smartphone (Chrome-based browser), and it seems not all of these are compatible. I've found that ink-components, Idyll, Fangle and Kajero work very well, whereas others either partially or do not work at all.

Nevertheless, it's a very exciting to see multiple projects tackling this topic! :-D

Thanks @lrq3000 for mentioning ink-components :)

I have re-worked/rebranded it to @iooxa/article (https://iooxa.dev) and put a bunch more work into the libraries. They can now be used independently for the most part, as well as down to the runtime library, which might be helpful for crossing over with other tools. I will continue to push on it! Feedback always welcome.
