pivot VS nivo

We can construct our apps in a way that is headless, where the app itself works without needing to render anything to the DOM. This is what I'm doing with the Pivot framework. An app is created without anchoring to a DOM element, like this:

The main benefit for me is testing. For example here I'm integration testing the app inside Vitest, so integration tests take just a few milliseconds and can be debugged much more easily in the IDE.

I've done something similar. I love redux, but RTK is absolutely overkill and tightly couples your business logic to the framework. I ended up creating my own createSlice function and side-effects services: https://github.com/andyjessop/pivot/tree/main/packages/lib/slice

Another alternative - I haven't tried this but bookmarked that one:

https://nivo.rocks (https://github.com/plouc/nivo)

Nivo is a data visualization library built on top of D3.js and React. It offers a range of well-designed, customizable charts with great animations, making it suitable for creating visually impressive data visualizations.

When it comes to charting, Nivo makes you immediately superhero.

Since no one mentioned it, checkout nivo

Today this works thanks to nivo and Cloudinary, but that journey included a lot of trials and testing for the perfect solution.

Nivo is built on D3 and provides a variety of templates for data visualization and presentation. It is one of the few libraries that provide server-side rendering ability and fully declarative charts.

Then, we can think about the implementation. We use Nivo for most data visualizations, but we do have a few that either use straight HTML/CSS, or use D3 directly.

I always use https://nivo.rocks/ you can customize it a ton. Works great.

I use nivo.rocks to visualize the genres and make the list more interactive. Please read my comment on how I implemented it.
