Show HN: Beautiful interactive explainers generated with Claude Code

Hello HN,

Recently an amazingly beautiful explainer was shared on HN: https://explainers.blog/posts/why-is-the-sky-blue/

I loved it so much that I wished more topics were explained that way. So, I decided to stress-test today's frontier models (Opus 4.6 in Claude Code) to generate similar explainer on any given topic WITH (almost) one shot and minimal nudging.

I'm launching with four topics: Fourier transformation, scaling laws in bio, cellular automata and LLMs.

I would let you be the judge, but I'm quite liking them.

Some things I learned:

- Prompting CC to test what it builds using headless chromium is essential - There are subtle bugs in explanations (like in one animation human lifespan is 40 years) - Asking CC to verify its plan via codex works really well

I do want to reiterate that the pages generated were mostly one-shot, which amazed me given how detailed the pages + animations are.
