Interactive algorithm playground

Build a web app that lets users manipulate data structures visually to understand sorting algorithms. Target CS students and coding bootcamp attendees.

Why now

Algorithm visualization remains a persistent educational need as more people learn programming.

Who for
CS students
Business model
Freemium subscriptions
Effort
A few weeks

Beginners struggle to grasp how algorithms transform data structures step-by-step.

Create a drag-and-drop interface where users can build and manipulate arrays, then watch algorithms process them with adjustable speed controls.

Charge educational institutions or offer freemium access to individual learners.

MVP could just implement 3-4 basic sorting algorithms with simple visualizations.

Risk: Existing tools like VisuAlgo already offer similar functionality.
