In plain words

Chart.xkcd is a charting library that creates graphs styled like xkcd comics. It generates charts with the distinctive hand-drawn aesthetic of xkcd's webcomic style. The library is designed for developers and data visualization enthusiasts who want to present information in a playful, informal format rather than traditional business charts. Its main appeal is producing quirky, visually distinct charts that stand out from conventional data visualization tools.

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…
