RouteLab interface visualizing a pathfinding algorithm across a weighted graph

RouteLab

In Progress

An interactive pathfinding studio for visualizing, inspecting, and comparing graph-search algorithms.

Next.jsReactTypeScriptTailwind CSSZodViteCloudflare Workers
Technical details

RouteLab transforms real graph-search executions into deterministic, interactive timelines. Users can play, pause, step, rewind, and scrub through each algorithm while inspecting nodes, frontier states, paths, and performance metrics. The application supports seven pathfinding algorithms, customizable graphs, multiple cost models, synchronized algorithm comparisons, and Dijkstra reference implementations in six programming languages.
