A novelty web app inspired by xkcd 1185 that sorts arrays by fetching code snippets from StackOverflow answers and eval'ing them in the browser. It's a joke project, not a production sorting library.
Use cases
- sort an array using stack overflow snippets
- demo of running arbitrary code in the browser
- novelty project to show friends
- learn how stack overflow api scraping works
When to choose
- you want a fun xkcd-inspired demo
- you're exploring the StackOverflow API
When to avoid
- you need a real, reliable sorting implementation
- security matters - it evals untrusted code
- production use of any kind
