Who will build a modern successor to Distill's interactive ML explanations?

Researcher @k7agar asks who will "save research" by making a more current version of distill.pub. Distill pioneered peer-reviewed, interactive ML explanations—classics like A Gentle Introduction to Graph Neural Networks and Multimodal Neurons in Artificial Neural Networks—before announcing a hiatus in July 2021 that has lasted over four years.
