## What it is
An interactive Next.js application that visualizes how Effect (Effect-TS) programs execute over time, showing effects run, compose, race, and handle errors with animated nodes and sound feedback. It serves as an educational playground for learning the Effect library's execution model.

## Use cases
- learn how Effect operations execute over time
- visualize effect composition and racing
- understand error handling in Effect programs
- teach Effect concurrency concepts interactively
- explore Effect examples in a playground

## When to choose
- you are learning Effect-TS and want an interactive mental model of its runtime
- you are teaching or onboarding developers to Effect's execution model

## When to avoid
- you need a production library for building Effect applications
- you need offline or non-browser-based documentation
- you use runtimes other than TypeScript/JavaScript
