For those in the know... Do you have any recommended reading for Merkle-curious people that may have some scars from blockchain-related hype? It would be nice to find a nice introductory resource that covers some interesting use-cases that may not be well-known. Perhaps with nice graphics, interactivity, etc.?
For example, here is a slick web site that shows how certificate transparency uses Merkle trees: https://certificate.transparency.dev/howctworks/
