This is so cool! And I'm dismayed that you have been subjected to the typical Hacker News cynicism.
By looking through some of your other project and interests, I can see that you likely have a healthy sense of your own capabilities and certainly don't need my validation or approbation. But I'm going to give it anyway.
Piffle on anyone who knocks you on tone! It is not trivial to make this level of technical information available in such an approachable fashion. When we first start our careers, detailed technical knowledge and the ability to solve low-level problems are super important. But the way you "crawl up the value chain" in software engineering is to become a "force multiplier" - someone who can make other people more productive. And the ability to communicate well (both what to communicate and how to communicate it) becomes a more and more important skill. This work clearly demonstrates your communication skills.
I hope you make software engineering your career choice. The field could use more people like you.
