This looks great, good to learn that something like this is out there.

I work at Auth0 and we are building a Zanzibar inspired SaaS as well (you can read here if interested https://twitter.com/auth0lab) and it is positive to see that there's interest in services like this, it's validating :)

One of the things we found is that learning Zanzibar concepts can be a bit daunting, so we put together this playground: https://sandman-86.herokuapp.com/, that has samples and tutorials, etc.

Hopefully that's useful for others getting started with Zanzibar. We are likely going to be adding the ability to write to the playground (it is read-only today) in the next few months.

This is really polished with the graph visualization!

Similarly, Authzed has a playground[0], but it's focused more on validation, exhaustively testing, and sharing your designs rather than visualization.

Wow that playground looks awesome, is it open source? It really makes sense to have these graphs and trees, makes it way easier to understand.

Nice work there!

It's not OSS today but we could probably OSS if we spend a bit more time on it. Thanks for the idea!
Can you make the Terraform provider better please? :D
