Proposal: Interactive Visual Explainers for Mechanisms #423

Description

@newzealand072024-jpg

What I'm proposing

Most people read about these mechanisms but never really get them until
they see them in action. I want to add a small playable demo to each
mechanism page — something you can interact with and immediately understand
how the mechanism behaves in real life.

No wallet, no web3 knowledge needed. Just play with it and the concept
clicks.

Examples

Quadratic Funding → add donors, set amounts, watch the matching pool
redistribute live. You instantly see why 10 people giving $1 beats 1
person giving $100.

Conviction Voting → support a proposal, watch your conviction build
over time, switch to another and watch it drain. You feel why time =
commitment.

Fair Fees → scale up a dapp's funding, watch the fee curve rise.
The builder vs extractor tradeoff becomes obvious.

Attestation-Based Funding → add verifications one by one, watch
funding unlock the moment the threshold is crossed.

Milestone-Based Funding → complete milestones to release tranches.
Miss one, funds pause. You feel the accountability instantly.

How I'd start

Prototype one demo first — happy to share it here before building
anything further. Which mechanism would be most useful to tackle first?
