Sum-of-phasors visualization makes abstract DSP concepts finally click visually.

Strengths
  • •Interactive phasor summation provides intuitive understanding of frequency domain.
  • •Export to GIF and MP4 enables easy creation of educational materials and demos.
  • •No server dependencies means it runs entirely in the browser with zero setup.
Weaknesses
  • •UI feels dated compared to modern interactive learning platforms like Observable.
  • •Limited to specific DSP concepts rather than a comprehensive signal processing suite.

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.
