What it does

Re-usable, easy interface JavaScript chart library based on D3 v4+, with SVG and Canvas rendering support.

Re-usable, easy-interface JavaScript chart library built on D3 v4+. Render to SVG or Canvas from the same API — generate a chart in three lines. Create a chart instantly with sensible defaults and extensive options. One API, two renderers. Switch to canvas for high-density, large-data charts. Written as ES Modules with ES6+ syntax. Import only what you need. The same chart config renders to SVG or Canvas. Canvas mode draws high-density scatter, line and area charts to a single <canvas> — smooth even with tens of thousands of points. Current latest version is 4.0.3 . pkgd files are packaged withfrom naver.github.io

    Many JS libraries exist to build graphs on the web (Vega, chartJS, Plotly...). They allow to make charts quickly. But you lose flexibility: you're limited by the options they offer. I just created a gallery with hundreds of graphs made with d3.js and React. - Examples are split by graph types - They all come with explanation and code sandboxes - Gradual complexity to ease the learning curve It took me ages to create this project! Feedback welcome!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
