Thanks for sharing!
This post appears to be a nice fit for
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-blog-articles.html (except non-permanent
imgur links). Do you have an Org version? Or maybe an actual blog post?

I notice two things here:
1. \clearpage command, which reminds me about
https://orgmode.org/list/87mtamjrft.fsf@localhost
May it be useful to have page break syntax element in Org?
2. You had to use direct LaTeX for caption. Can we do something to make
the #+caption keywords more useful?
