My project was inspired by Cortesi's blog posts, among other things. I thought binary visualization could be useful for reverse engineering, a fun thing to program, so I did. I wanted to share it in case someone was interested in the code for generating the image, since I made it as "extensible" as I could, but I am sure there are a lot of improvements to be made.
That website is more interactive, shows a hex dump of the binary and doesn't require you to download/compile anything. It's probably more practical for most users, but my project has some other modes that might be helpful for recognizing patterns in different file formats (look at the talks linked in the README for more information on what I mean). Also, as far as I know the source code for binvis.io is not public.
P.S. I added a link to binvis.io to the README as well.
