About the project

Interactive online platform that visualizes algorithms from code in various programming languages. Helps students, teachers, and developers understand algorithmic behavior through visual animations.

Useful for
  • Run a sorting algorithm visualization to see its step-by-step execution
  • Study data structures by watching their real-time animation
  • Use ready-made visualizations from the site menu to explain algorithms in class

4.3 Breakout Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 27, 2026, 12:50 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

075150July 30, 2026October 27, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-27 (UTC), 11:41–12:32: 49201 → 49204 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +36 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 20× that of the previous week and a half.
  • Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
  • GitHub Trending JavaScript today: #4, +157 stars.
  • About 19 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 308. +690% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
