GitHub Repo Visualizer Using D3
I built this as part of my quest to properly learn data visualization. The code is the easy part! Some lessons learned: - personal verification of the the general truth that pie charts are tough! and the returns are not great for the effort due to people's difficulties perceiving angles - may not use "vanilla" d3 with no React. was difficult to adapt for mobile - the GitHub API provides fairly standardized responses so building dynamic charts wasn't too bad. But when working with streaming data (say Kafka) I can see this getting interesting... schema registry should help but creating a view…

In plain words
GitHub Repo Visualizer Using D3 is a tool that creates interactive data visualizations of GitHub repository information using D3. Built as a learning project for data visualization, it dynamically generates charts from GitHub API data and demonstrates techniques for handling standardized data sources. The creator documented lessons learned about visualization challenges, including pie chart limitations and mobile responsiveness considerations with vanilla D3.

A gallery of graphs built with React and D3.js2023 · react-graph-gallery.com · ▲297Many 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!

Talanoa▲340Hi 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…
