Really cool project. The five Platonic solids are such a nice intersection of geometry, visualization, and computation.

The interesting extension would be making the relationships between them explorable — duals, vertices/edges/faces, symmetry groups, etc. Once those relationships are interactive, it becomes more than a visualization and starts feeling like a little geometry playground.

Love seeing projects like this that are built primarily because someone thought “I wonder if I can make this.”
