# Open Design Atlas - Graph Visualization Prototype

**⚠️ THIS IS THROWAWAY CODE ⚠️**

**Created:** 2025-10-25
**Purpose:** Test graph visualization approaches in 2 hours
**Status:** Prototype - DO NOT SHIP THIS CODE

## Purpose

Quick exploration to answer architectural questions:
1. D3-force vs custom physics - which feels better?
2. Canvas performance with 20 nodes?
3. Pan/zoom - use library or custom?
4. Touch gestures - complexity level?
5. Hover/click interactions - what's smooth?

## What to Test

1. **Open `prototype-v1-d3.html`** - D3-force approach
2. **Open `prototype-v2-custom.html`** - Custom physics approach
3. **Open `prototype-v3-webgl.html`** - WebGL approach (if time)

## After Testing

Document findings in `FINDINGS.md` then **DELETE THIS DIRECTORY**.

Rebuild properly in Astro with TypeScript using lessons learned.

## Time Box

**Start:** [Note time]
**End:** 2 hours later
**No exceptions** - even if incomplete, stop and document
