Here’s How to Solve a 25-Story Rubik’s Cube (Gift Article)

I created a “visual diff” tool for comparing different design layouts side by side. The tool provides a sankey chart visualization between the control and treatment designs, letting you inspect how the screen’s elements change throughout different configurations & parameters.
