Developers often struggle to visualize how memory is allocated and freed in their applications, leading to inefficiencies and bugs. A tool that provides a real-time, interactive visualization of malloc() algorithms would make it easier to spot leaks and fragmentation. CTOs and performance engineers would pay for this to reduce debugging time and optimize resource usage. Start with a simple CLI tool that visualizes basic allocation patterns. The biggest risk is that it may be too niche for wide adoption.
