Inspiration
Galvoro builds on a tradition of people who believed that ideas should be touched, not just read. Below we credit related communities and creators whose work inspired these ideas. Galvoro hosts shorter, more focused work designed to augment teaching rather than replace it. The platforms below remain the canonical home for longer explorable explanations and interactive research writing — and we recommend visiting them.

A community hub for sharing explorable explanations — a genre named by Bret Victor in his 2011 essay of the same name.
A research journal for interactive machine-learning explanations. No longer active, but the archive is preserved.
A platform for live, interactive notebooks.
