Future Idea — Interactive Frontend & Visualization Layer

One possible long-term direction for this project would be introducing a dedicated frontend layer to improve interaction, observability and accessibility.

Instead of coupling interface logic directly into the core, the application could expose execution and processing data through structured outputs (JSON/API/events), allowing independent visualization tools.

Possible goals

• Interactive execution and state inspection
• Real-time visualization of processing
• Better usability and accessibility
• Improved debugging and educational value
• Separation between processing engine and presentation layer

Potential features

• Register and state viewer
• Execution timeline
• Memory/stack visualization
• Instruction flow inspection
• Metrics and performance dashboard
• Export and reporting interface
