Roadmap & Wishlist
Pick any item from our roadmap — your contribution will shape the platform's future.
- Trie (Prefix Tree) with auto-complete simulation
- AVL Tree & Red-Black Tree with rotation animations
- Segment Tree & Fenwick Tree (BIT)
- Disjoint Set Union (Union-Find) with path compression
Coding Guidelines
- TypeScript: Strongly typed — avoid `any`
- Tailwind CSS v4: Use design tokens from globals.css
- Framer Motion: Smooth animations & layout transitions
- React state/refs: Local state for step counters, Zustand for global
- Cleanups: Always clear timers, listeners & WASM on unmount
