• Timeline chart : Where to start?

  - elijah meeks has some force collision label work that he's done, though I don't know where it lives. I'd google around, it may have lived on bl.ocks.org; there may be more up-to-date stuff too. Source: over 1 year ago

• [OC] Russian population decline hit -1,042,675 last year. This population pyramid shows the development since 1946. With wars, famine, and the fall of Soviet marked.

  D3 is luckily a very popular library with lots of resources available. I'd suggest also checking out bl.ocks and Observable for great examples. The latter one is amazing if you just want to do statistics/visualization work, since it acts like a Jupyter-like notebook environment. Source: over 2 years ago

• Using Hamburger Menus? Try Sausage Links

  Yeah, for that use case, https://bl.ocks.org is better than CodePen. Publish a GitHub gist, replace gist.github.com with bl.ocks.org, and sneak in "/raw" between the username and the gist id. You can even point to specific commit hashes. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• How do I embed this d3 visualization into my own html page?

  The harder way: Follow an example of someone coding the visualization on their local set up (which may be hard to find depending on what your are looking for as a lot of D3 examples have migrated to Observable). But here is an old glossary of examples it is on an old website called Bl.ocks that showed D3 examples using Github gists. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Optimize rendering a map w/ large data set

  That's great, and hey maybe I'll steal some of your recipes from your blog too :) Currently I'm following https://bl.ocks.org/ for inspiration and don't have too many other sources to read through, but your blog seems like it's filled w/ topics on data viz & getting around pain points, I'm all about it!

• Angular

  I'm still a beginner myself, but after getting this basic TypeSctipt file laid out, the examples you find on bl.ocks.org work as is, minus some "gotchas" - watch out for this, types, and non-arrow functions, as you will have to translate those things over to TypeScript. Also watch for which version of D3 the example is using. A lot of stuff out there is for v4 when 6 is the newest iteration right now and there... Source: over 3 years ago

• Manim – an animation engine for explanatory math videos

  Is this a previewer for manim? Really reminds me of https://bl.ocks.org/, https://observablehq.com/, https://asciinema.org/, and https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/. Really enjoy these kinds of tools. Though I wish you didn't need an account to preview or upload content to manim. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• How to learn d3.js

  What I did was search for similar projects on observablehq and bl.ocks.org, then adapt them to my needs. I think the creator of d3.js recommends the same way :). Source: over 3 years ago
