+# PCA Cloud ☁️
+
+### Turn your spreadsheet into clouds!
+
+Discover patterns across your numeric features with interactive 3D clouds, PCA, and t-SNE.
+
+**[Open PCA Cloud →](https://archipelagoing.github.io/PCACloud/)**
+
+No sign-up · No installation · Your data stays in your browser
+
+[![PCA Cloud site screenshot — open the interactive visualizer](docs/screenshot.png)](https://archipelagoing.github.io/PCACloud/)
+
+*if you look up at the sky, i wonder, can you find your data there?*
+
+</div>
+
+## Your spreadsheet, with its head in the clouds.⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆
+
+A table gives you the numbers. PCA Cloud helps you explore how they fit together. Bring measurements from an experiment, a public dataset, or a CSV you've been curious about, and see their projected shape in three dimensions.
+
+- **Look for patterns worth investigating!** Explore groups, spread, and unusual points from different angles.
+- **Build intuition as you go...** Switch between PCA and t-SNE to see how different ways of simplifying the same data change the picture.
+- **Make the view your own** Choose soft cloud particles or individual data points, adjust the atmosphere, and save an image for a slide, notebook, or conversation.
+- **Keep your data on your device.** Uploaded CSVs are processed locally in your browser. No account or API key is needed.
+
+## Try it today with a ready-made cloud! ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆
+
+**[Open the app](https://archipelagoing.github.io/PCACloud/)** and the built-in atmospheric sample is ready to explore. You don't need a dataset to get started.
+
+1. **Drag to orbit.** See the cloud from another angle. Scroll or use **+/−** to zoom.
+2. **Choose Data points.** See the individual projected rows behind the cloud.
+3. **Switch to t-SNE.** Explore local similarities, then switch back to PCA to compare the views.
+4. **Save your favorite view.** Select **Save image** to download a PNG.
+
+Use **Reset view** whenever you want to return to the starting camera position.
+
+Select the **Learn PCA** tab on the right edge to slide out the learning drawer while keeping the sky interactive. **Variance** shows the complete scree plot; **Loadings** connects feature weights to a highlighted PCA axis. **Walkthrough** guides you through six steps using the assignment’s four-point example: change units, toggle standardization, orbit the scene, and click A–D to inspect a point. The main visualization highlights centering, component directions, projections, and reconstruction loss for the active step. Select **Studio** or press Escape to return to your dataset. Opening Learn PCA switches a t-SNE view to PCA.
+
+## Bring your own data  ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆
+
+### Drop in a CSV
+
+Drop a file onto **Bring your own data**, or click to browse. Include a header row and at least two numeric columns with two complete data rows.
+
+You can explore files up to **5 MB** and **100 columns**. Text columns are excluded, and incomplete or malformed rows are skipped. Remove numeric IDs or other columns you don't want included before uploading.
+
+### Explore a public Kaggle dataset
+
+Open **Import from Kaggle** and select **Try Iris dataset**, or paste a public dataset link, choose **Find CSVs**, and select **Visualize dataset** for your chosen file.
+
+If Kaggle can't serve the file directly to your browser, download the CSV yourself and drop it into the app. Private datasets, competition authentication, and ZIP extraction aren't supported.
+
+## Two ways to see the same data ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆
+
+| Choose | When you want to… | What to look at |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **PCA** | Explore the main directions of variation across your features | Explained variance shows how much variation the first three components retain |
+| **t-SNE** | Explore which rows have similar feature values locally | Nearby points can suggest neighborhoods to investigate; global distances and cluster sizes need care |
+
+**Try toggling Standardize features**, especially when your columns use different units. It scales features to equal sample variance so their original measurement scales don't dominate the analysis.
+
+PCA's two objective options produce the same point positions; they let you emphasize explained variance or reconstruction error. For t-SNE, changing perplexity lets you explore different neighborhood scales.
+
+These views help you ask questions about your data. A visible group alone doesn't establish a meaningful category, and a 3D projection can leave information out. Cloud density and particle size change the appearance, not the analysis.
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>More about sampling and projection metrics</strong></summary>
+
+- CSVs with more than 2,500 valid rows are evenly sampled before analysis.
+- t-SNE uses at most 500 rows, runs for 500 iterations, and uses a fixed seed. Identical inputs and settings give reproducible results; a fixed iteration count does not guarantee convergence.
+- t-SNE's KL divergence is not comparable to PCA's explained variance or reconstruction error, and should not be compared directly across different datasets or perplexities.
+- With two numeric features, PCA produces a flat projection. Constant data produces a validation message.
+- The sample is synthetic atmospheric data. The cloud is an artistic rendering, not a weather simulation.
+
+See [Projection methods](docs/PROJECTIONS.md) for the mathematics, implementation details, and interpretation limits.
+
+</details>
+
+## Your data stays with you ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆
+
+CSV parsing and projection calculations happen on your device. The app does not upload your dataset.
+
+The page loads fonts from Google Fonts, with system-font fallbacks. If you use the Kaggle importer, your browser also contacts Kaggle and its download host. Each import requests the current file; datasets aren't refreshed in the background.

+## For contributors ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆
+
+Built with vanilla JavaScript and Canvas 2D, packaged as a reusable Jekyll theme. The app has no JavaScript runtime package dependencies. See the [roadmap](docs/todo.md) for fixes, release checks, and ideas for future features.

+<summary><strong>Run locally, test, and deploy</strong></summary>
+
+### Run locally
+
+With Ruby 3.1 or newer, Bundler, and Node.js/npm installed:
+
+```sh
+bundle install
+npm start
+```
+
+Open [localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173). Jekyll renders the layouts and Liquid templates. `npm start` serves at the domain root for local development. Run `npm run build` to generate `_site/` using the configured `/PCACloud` base path. Any static web server can serve the generated `_site/` directory.
+
+### Run tests
+
+```sh
+npm test
+```
+
+Tests use Node's built-in test runner and cover PCA variance, component orthogonality, scale invariance, reconstruction error, CSV parsing and validation, mocked Kaggle responses, and t-SNE affinities, gradients, and reproducibility.
+
+### Deploy to GitHub Pages
+
+In [repository Settings → Pages](https://github.com/archipelagoing/PCACloud/settings/pages), select **GitHub Actions** as the deployment source.
+
+The included [workflow](.github/workflows/pages.yml) runs tests, builds Jekyll, and publishes `_site/` on every push to `main`. You can also start it manually from the repository's **Actions** tab. Jekyll’s `relative_url` filter supports the `/PCACloud/` project path. Set `url` and `baseurl` in `_config.yml` for your own domain or repository (`baseurl: ""` for a domain root).
+
+</details>
+
+## Use as a Jekyll theme
+
+The theme follows [Jekyll’s theme structure](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/themes/) and can be used from a checkout, as a gem, or as a remote theme.
+
+To use this checkout directly, run the local commands above. Edit `_config.yml` to change branding, the header/footer notes, and the home page introduction. `headline` and `intro` accept HTML; other text settings are escaped. Per-page `headline`, `intro`, and `eyebrow` override the site settings. Keep the studio’s element IDs when customizing its HTML because the interactive app uses them.
+
+To use it in another Jekyll site without publishing a gem, add this to that site’s Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem "jekyll", "~> 4.4"
+gem "jekyll-theme-pca-cloud", git: "https://github.com/archipelagoing/PCACloud", branch: "main"
+```
+
+After these changes are pushed to that branch, run `bundle install` and set:
+
+```yaml
+theme: jekyll-theme-pca-cloud
+title: PCA Cloud
+```
+
+Alternatively, add `gem "jekyll-remote-theme"` to the consuming site’s Gemfile and configure:
+
+```yaml
+remote_theme: archipelagoing/PCACloud
+plugins:
+  - jekyll-remote-theme
+```
+
+Remote theme usage also requires these files to be pushed first. When using either method, create your own `index.html`:
+
+```yaml
+---
+layout: home
+title: Find the shape in your data
+---
+```
+
+Use `layout: page` for ordinary Markdown pages and `layout: post` for dated posts. Those layouts share the sky colors and glass cards; the interactive studio loads on `layout: home` pages. Theme installation supplies layouts and assets, so the consuming site provides its own content and `_config.yml`. Copy a file into your own `_includes/` or `_layouts/` directory to override it.
+
+To package the theme locally:
+
+```sh
+gem build jekyll-theme-pca-cloud.gemspec
+```
+
+This creates `jekyll-theme-pca-cloud-0.1.0.gem`; publishing it to RubyGems is a separate step.

+      <details><summary>Why the covariance convention matters</summary><p>This lesson uses population covariance and population standard deviations, dividing by n = 4, to match the assignment. The main cloud uses sample covariance and sample standard deviations, dividing by n − 1. With consistent preprocessing, component directions and explained-variance ratios agree; eigenvalues and standardized scores depend on the convention.</p><p>For numerical stability, unstandardized cloud inputs are also divided by one shared scale. This preserves directions and variance ratios. Display coordinates are uniformly resized to fit the scene; the lesson reports its own calculation units.</p></details>
