ZK Visualizer – I built this while learning zero-knowledge proofs

Hacker News

I was learning ZK proofs and found that visualizing things really helped me understand them. Noticed there aren't many interactive visualizations out there, so I built one. Here's the first version: zkvisualizer.com It walks through the full pipeline step by step (Problem → Circuit → R1CS → Polynomials → Witness → Proof → Verification) with real Groth16 proofs generated in your browser using snarkjs. You can toggle between what the prover knows vs what the verifier sees, and there's a tamper detection demo where you can watch verification fail. This is still very early on, but I would be very happy to receive any feedback!
