Tutorial for my original Sorting Visualizer project.
A companion codebase for a YouTube tutorial series on building a sorting algorithm visualizer in React. It's aimed at beginners learning React by building something visual, not at developers looking for a production-quality visualization library.
The algorithm implementations in sortingAlgorithms.js are clean and readable — good for following along step by step. The single-component structure in SortingVisualizer.jsx keeps the code approachable for someone new to React. It's a solid tutorial artifact: small enough to understand in one sitting.
Last touched in 2023 and built on Create React App, which is effectively unmaintained — anyone forking this today will immediately hit outdated dependencies and tooling drift. There are no tests beyond the CRA boilerplate App.test.js placeholder. The README is mostly auto-generated CRA text with a YouTube subscribe pitch, which tells you this is marketing material for the channel more than a maintained open-source project. 243 forks strongly suggests it's used as a homework starting point, not because the code itself is worth building on.
