Various algorithms implemented in ES6 with Redux.
Redux is great for developing complicated applications since it simplifies the issue of state - in redux there is only one state. Thus, assuming the view is a pure function of the state, your view will always be consistent. Whereas with storing pieces of the state among separate components, there is no clear global state, and keeping everything in sync becomes complicated and difficult to test.
Here, we take the ideas of the state time machine and apply it to visualizing various algorithms. Any action will create a new state, and we can step through the actions in order to skip forwards and backwards. Tied to a view that is a pure function of the state, this creates a nice grounds for walking through and understanding potentially complicated algorithms.
Furthermore, a type of pseudo-code can be written with actions that can be run as actual code. Ideally, this module will serve as a "pseudo-code with redux actions runner" and the community can build out many algorithmic visualizations.
