Tools
Small utilities and interactive sketches that run entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Many accompany a field note; the larger reproducibility harnesses live in ramwise-examples.
Data Quality & ETL
Catch schema drift, verify record fingerprints, and trace temporal mutability.
- CSV inspector & schema diff →
Drop a CSV to inspect its schema and diff it against another file.
- Content fingerprinter & hasher →
Compute content fingerprints and see why filenames are labels, not identity.
- Mutable date dimension explorer →
Shift logical dates and watch today-relative attributes mutate old records.
System Infrastructure & Hardware
Calculate drive storage configurations and virtualization limits.
- Storage pool layout calculator →
Compare usable capacity, write penalties, and fault tolerance across ZFS, BTRFS, and LVM.

Byte-Level Inspectors & Utilities
Inspect encodings, hashes, and small deterministic calculations.
- Bytes & hash inspector →
See a string’s UTF-8 vs UTF-16LE bytes and the SHA-256 of each.
- Cookie fat-to-flour checker →
Enter a recipe and see whether its effective fat-to-flour ratio is physically plausible.
Creative Coding
Interactive algorithm, physics, and browser-compute sketches that make the underlying operation visible.
- Simulation sketches →
Sorting, Fourier, gravity, reaction–diffusion, boids, and other small things to watch and tweak.
- PCA projection explorer →
Link a 3D feature cloud to its 2D principal-component projection and see why feature standardization changes the result.
- Gradient descent explorer →
Move an optimizer across a 3D loss surface and the matching 2D contour map, one step at a time.
- K-Means clustering explorer →
Assign points, move centroids, and change initialization across linked 2D and 3D cluster views.
- Image convolution explorer →
Paint an image, edit a 3×3 kernel, and link each output pixel to its receptive field and weight surface.
- Linear transformation explorer →
Compose rotations, scales, shears, and reflections across a transformed 2D grid and 3D cube.
- Monte Carlo risk explorer →
Connect simulated portfolio paths and terminal outcomes to a 3D volatility-and-horizon risk surface.
- CT reconstruction explorer →
Turn angular projections into a sinogram, reconstruct a slice, and inspect the matching 3D acquisition geometry.
- Gaussian Splatting explorer →
Orbit a reconstructed scene while a linked debug view reveals its depth-sorted anisotropic Gaussian footprints.
- Dimensionality reduction comparison →
Compare PCA with a nonlinear neighborhood map across the same original 3D manifold and reduced 2D embedding.
- GPU particle field explorer →
Connect a WebGPU-driven 3D particle volume to its top-down density heat map and sampled force field.
- GPU fusion visualizer →
See how fusing GPU work removes an intermediate matrix and a second global-memory pass.
- Live signal spectrum →
Mix tones and noise, then watch the waveform become a spectrum and scrolling waterfall.
- Point-in-polygon explorer →
Move a polygon across thousands of points and watch exact matches light up.
- Nearest-neighbor explorer →
Drag a query through a vector field and watch exact nearest neighbors change in real time.
Bigger toolkits
Same browser-local idea, but full standalone apps rather than single-post widgets.
- mdbuild ↗
A browser-based Markdown editor that exports to PDF, HTML, Word, and images — entirely client-side, nothing uploaded.
- wavsnap ↗
Turns audio into a shareable waveform video — drop in a file, pick a reactive visualizer, export an MP4.
- anatini ↗
Client-side data & developer tools for CSV, JSON, Parquet, SQL, hashes, encoders, regex, JWT, and more.
- trueres ↗
Client-side audio & video tools for hi-res verification, spectrograms, LUFS, conversion, and headphone testing.
Command-line tools
These run from a terminal or CI job rather than in the browser.
- willitload ↗
pip install willitloadStructural pre-flight for bulk loads: name the files that will break the load, with the exact reason for each.
More will show up here as posts earn them.
