Interactive SQL Tutorial with a visual query builder

The side-by-side visual builder and live SQL editor is the real payoff — drag tables onto a canvas, draw joins, and watch the SQL and results update so JOINs actually click. It's not a novel database, but shipping an in-browser SQL sandbox with a downloadable client, sample e‑commerce dataset, and no-signup access makes this a very effective, demo-friendly way to learn tricky SQL concepts.

I built an interactive LSM Tree simulator

This actually simulates the full write path — WAL to memtable to immutable flush — and animates cascading leveled compactions so you can watch key movement and file counts in real time. The live bloom-filter checks and amplification metrics are the parts that will teach you something immediately; it's clearly built as a learning/debugging sandbox rather than a production profiler.
