  <h1>Learn the 16 coding-interview patterns — visually</h1>
  <p class="lede">Most interview problems are variations of a small set of techniques. Study the patterns, watch the algorithms run step by step, and drill the exact tested solutions.</p>

    <a class="card" href="study-guide.html">
      <span class="emoji">📖</span>
      <h2>Interactive Study Guide</h2>
      <p>All 16 patterns with recognition triggers, animated "how it works" panels, difficulty filters, dark mode, progress tracking, and expandable drills revealing the exact tested solution code.</p>

      <h2>Algorithm Visualizer</h2>
      <p>Pick a pattern and press Play — or step through with the arrow keys — to watch sliding windows slide, pointers converge, heaps rebalance, DP tables fill, and topological orders emerge. Covers all 16 patterns.</p>
