FAQ
A few things worth knowing.
How to explore, submit, and continue creating.
01What is HowThings?
An independent collection of interactive figures. Each one lets you look inside something and try how it works, instead of only reading about it.
02What is an Anatomy figure?
A standalone explanation made with the Anatomy skill, usually HTML with SVG or WebGL. Open it, use the controls, and follow one idea at a time.
03How do I look at a figure?
Choose one from the gallery. The drawing and its notes open together. Try the controls inside the figure, then come back for the next one.
04Can I make one?
Yes. Install the Anatomy skill, describe the idea and the interaction, and ask for standalone HTML. The creation guide lists the three steps.
05What happens after I submit a figure?
Submit an English-language figure. After submission, a private receipt is saved in this browser. Open My submissions to see whether it is awaiting review, published, or not approved, including the rejection reason. No account is needed. Clearing browser data removes the local history; save a private receipt link to keep access.
06Who made these, and can I reuse them?
Most figures are by Anatomy / Ryan under the MIT license. Each figure page lists the creator, source, and license. HowThings is not affiliated with Anatomy.
07Can I download and edit a figure?
Download the HTML from its figure page and use an AI coding assistant with the Anatomy skill to continue editing. Check the creator’s license before reusing or sharing the work.
