nobody has built an interaction that gives users power OVER the algorithm. so i did.
reverse-engineering the algorithim patterns and accepted the makeathon challange to built something different.
it's called Project Helix.
instead of a feed that talks AT you, every recommendation comes with a question:
"i'm showing you this because of X. do you accept, modify, or reject — and why?"
you reject something → the system rewires in time. not after 30 days of behavior. immediately.
the graph you see? that's the Path Matrix. it visualizes how your negotiations reshape the algorithm's decision tree. every rejection creates a new branch. every acceptance reinforces a path. you're watching your own agency become architecture.

Project Helix is next-level! 🔥 I love how it puts real agency in the user’s hands seeing the Path Matrix update in real time makes the algorithm feel tangible and responsive. This isn’t just interaction design, it’s empowerment through interface. Incredible work!

Thank you! while it's still under work and needs a lot of diffrent things to make it pop and work seemlesly. Missing the backend as Superbase is having some issues with my country. Still it was amazing to work on this project.
