You should be very satisfied with how well you conveyed the algorithm. Well done. What was your approach to arriving at this result?

Thanks :) I first implemented sha256 in js to understand its inner workings. Then I started displaying its variables with react and adding this stepped mechanism. Finally, I added some notes on the left to add some context of what is going on.
Very nice. Have you built any other algorithm visualizations? I have a very strong interest in how algorithms are visualized so that they are more easily understood.
First time doing this type of visualizations. I have this one tailwind.ink which will visualize a color palette on their luminance, chroma and hue values, but it's not really representing the algorithm behind.
