I'll be honest, that's not the kind of visualization that I was expecting based on the title. 😅 That said, it was a bit eye-opening to see that if you don't obsess about the viz being "aesthetic" you can get far with relatively little code.
I keep article code self-contained (not linking out to a repo and not using third party libraries) which incentivizes finding the most concise way to demonstrate things. I was pretty happy how this turned out.
Yep, I read your article submission guidelines earlier. As they say, constraints lead to creativity. :)
