Interactive web protocol simulators

Create a suite of browser-based simulations showing how internet protocols work. Help developers and students visualize abstract concepts.

Why now

Static explanations dominate while interactive learning tools remain rare.

Who for
Developers and CS students
Business model
Educational licenses or freemium
Effort
A few weeks

Understanding protocols like HTTP and DNS is hard through text alone. Interactive elements could let users manipulate packets and see real-time effects.

Sell to educational institutions or offer freemium access. Start with basic HTTP before adding more protocols.

The risk is maintaining simulations as protocols evolve.
