Algorithm Visualizer

Write down your algorithm to be visualized

Algorithm Visualizer launched on May 23, 2016 with 263 votes, #86 of 3,824 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

In plain words

Algorithm Visualizer is a web app that lets developers write and visualize algorithms in action. Users input their code and watch it execute step-by-step, making it easier to understand how algorithms work and debug logic. It's designed for programmers of all levels who want to see their code's behavior illustrated visually rather than just reading output. The tool combines code editing with real-time visualization to make algorithm learning and development more interactive.

    I've created a web app for querying and visualization of ADS-B datasets: https://adsb.exposed/ Source code: https://github.com/ClickHouse/adsb.exposed/ The results significantly exceeded my expectations because the pictures are insanely beautiful, and the data is a treasure trove. It proves many statements that were not certain: - it is feasible to generate tiles by aggregation on a pixel level (instead of hexagons or rectangular grid); - it does not require JPG/PNG tiles - we can transfer raw bitmap data with zstd compression; - it is possible to…

  • Talanoa▲339

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
