Visualizing multi-dimensional array shapes recursively

ArrayVis is a web tool for visualizing multi-dimensional array shapes through recursive visualization, helping users understand complex array structures and dimensions interactively.

Background

- Multi-dimensional arrays (tensors) are central to data science, machine learning, and scientific computing — but their shapes (e.g., (3, 4, 5)) can be hard to reason about beyond 2 or 3 dimensions. - ArrayVis is a free, browser-based tool that lets you paste an array shape (like a NumPy or TensorFlow tensor shape) and see it visualized as a nested, recursive tree of blocks — each level representing one dimension. - This helps developers and students build intuition for how higher-dimensional data is laid out in memory and how axes relate. - The tool is built by an independent developer (Jan Tschichold) and runs entirely client-side using Netlify — no data leaves your machine.
