Visualgo

Visualising data structures and algorithms through animation

Visualgo launched on September 13, 2016 with 3 votes. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

What it does

VisuAlgo was conceptualised in 2011 by Associate Professor Steven Halim (NUS School of Computing) as a tool to help his students better understand data structures and algorithms, by allowing them to learn the basics on their own and at their own pace. Together with his students from the National University of Singapore, a series of visualizations were developed and consolidated, from simple sortin

VisuAlgo project continues to be funded by Optiver (started mid 2023, to continue to mid 2026 and possibly beyond). The focus for 2026 expansion project is to explore new Information Visualization techniques, perhaps AI-assisted. VisuAlgo is a trilingual site. Try visiting the other versions of VisuAlgo other than the default English version , e.g., Chinese or Indonesian . Users can see the translation statistics for these three pages. We aim to make all three has near 100% translation rate. Unfortunately the translation progress with other languages are too far behind and they are thus redirected to English. In VisuAlgo, you can use your own input for any algorithm instead of using only…from visualgo.net

    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.
