Makes sense. I'm curious, is the fact that you can drag the progress bar back&forth to create a slow motion obvious?

Sure but it would be nice to step through at your own pace rather than by intricately dragging a mouse and having to hold the click.

You mean via back/fwd buttons? Those are definitely useful. Fun trivia, this is how the 1st prototype worked: https://github.com/skidding/illustrated-algorithms/releases (scroll to bottom)

That would be nice but auto play is good. Just allow 2-3 options for the speed of a tick.

Without ever testing it (bad me, bad!) I assumed it was (at least) for jumping back to a frame.

It would be more obvious that it could be used as a slider if it had a graphical slider. [1]

Either way, great work!

yup, I naturally grabbed it to go back and forth.
