I’ve been thinking about how ideas are communicated on the forum and noticed that often posts are text/links.
I’m curious whether many EAs would:
Like to communicate more content using diagrams or data visualisation?
Like to consume more content with diagrams or data visualisation?
For example:
Excalidraw diagrams: https://excalidraw.com/
More work like this: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/c5f9bL8f3YenLmqSc/new-data-visualisations-of-the-ea-forum
Some ideas of what this could look like:
finding/popularising tools which make it easier to communicate ideas/data.
I find it plausible that this isn’t needed/worth much attention, but I wanted to test the idea. If there’s a lot of enthusiasm, I might put more effort into this.
