Awesome! (For some reason, the demo gif doesn't display for me in Safari, but I can see it in Chrome/Firefox.) I feel like this sort of thing could really be an essential tool in teaching programming. I've been working on a somewhat similar project for visualizing execution of javascript code (but it works by instrumenting the code, rather than interfacing with a debugger, so that it can all be done in the browser), which I'm hoping to release soon.

> the demo gif doesn't display for me in Safari It's actually an incorrectly named .webp file that's why.

Could you check if the issue with the demo has been fixed? GitHub's image host doesn't support WebP (which I use for better quality at a smaller size), so I've moved it to my own server where the MIME type should be correct. Your interactive project sounds interesting, let us know when it's out :)

  It still won't display in Safari. I wasn't familiar with WebP but it sounds like maybe Safari just doesn't support that format at all: https://caniuse.com/#search=WebP https://caniuse.com/#search=WebP

    Ah, that's unfortunate. I've replaced it with an actual GIF, so it should work now — thanks for the heads up.

      Yep, works now :)
