## 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

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-27 (UTC), 11:41–13:23: 49201 → 49207 stars (+6). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +35 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: #5, +157 stars.
- About 19 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 7,634
- Issues and pull requests: 388
- Watchers: 1,203
- Average over the last week: 49 per day
- Usual pace: 5 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 4

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
