It seems to be a nice, handmade, thoughtful collection. Things like being able to flip the images is a nice touch.

However, name "animated" will only lead to disappointment for people finding slide shows of humans. This is basically the same kind of that a Boy Scout handbook provides.

As a ultra noob in the art of knotting, I liked this when I stumbled over it a few weeks back. I agree that for newbies it would be even more instructive with smoother flows, I guess they're held back by the animations being photos and not, well, animations.

I also have read their backstory/naming thing [1] several times but I still don't quite get it. I first thought they were related to the historical Grog, but that was a misunderstanding. I think.

I looked up truckers hitch. It’s a slide show, even on YouTube.

I learned that knot differently, and wonder if mine has a different name.

I think "Trucker's Hitch" refers generally to any setup where you tie a midline loop, then use it like a pulley and tie off the free end. There are several different ways of doing the loop knot and the ending knot, with their own names on their own, but Trucker's Hitch refers to the overall setup.

My favorite is the Versatackle Knot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versatackle_knot
