What Hacker News says?
"A Deep Dive Into SVG Path Commands" by Nanda Syahrasyad [0] is really great for understanding how SVG paths are composed. It's from almost 2 years ago now and really opened my eyes to all that SVGs can do and exactly how they're doing it. [0] https://www.nan.fyi/svg-paths

HN discussionSeems like there are many useful suggestions for the author. Here is mine: maybe an interactive style would work much better for educational content. There is a well praised post on HN: https://www.nan.fyi/database , built with the framework: https://github.com/nandanmen/NotANumber

HN discussionTotally agree. I bookmarked this guide that hit the top of HN a few weeks back, a good primer on how to get started manually programming paths, which unlocks a lot of cool dynamic SVG and animation opportunities: https://www.nan.fyi/svg-paths .
