Consensus Visualizer

Five machines keep the same list of changes, with no shared clock and no boss. They run Raft: one machine is elected leader, it sends a heartbeat to everyone else, and a change only counts as agreed once a majority — 3 of the 5 — have written it down. Pause the leader and watch the rest notice the silence, hold a vote, and carry on without losing a thing.
