Read more about my final project idea here. I build distributed systems at work, and I often crave more tangible visualizations of the systems that I build that I can touch and feel. I’ve played around with UI-based visualizations Such as animated sequence diagrams and state diagrams in the past and gotten some results that I like. I’d love to take that further By exploring physical representations of web system design components.
