D3, nested appends, and data flow
1 project | /r/codehunter | 5 May 2022

I found mention of nested selection on another post, which pointed to http://bost.ocks.org/mike/nest/. But is nested selection, and therefore breaking apart the appends into three chunks, appropriate/idiomatic for this situation? Or is there actually a well-constructed way to form this structure in one chain of declarations? It seems like there might be a way with subselections mentioned on https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Selections, but I'm not familiar enough with the language to test that hypothesis.
How do you create a family tree in d3.js?
2 projects | /r/codehunter | 5 May 2022

I've chosen d3.js for this because it looks like would be capable of doing the job. I just don't know how or even where to start. Tutorials about d3.js only cover standard charts like bar charts.

So I'm trying to learn d3, and the wiki suggested that
D3.js: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL"?
1 project | /r/codehunter | 20 Apr 2022

D3 Sandbox But when I load this page, my console (in Chrome) is giving me this error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL: line 2 It doesn't like the pi and e symbols at the start of the file. Errrr... what can I do about this? I am serving the file with python's SimpleHTTPServer.

Update: yes I know I can just link to a CDN version, but I would prefer to serve the file locally.

An Afternoon with SVGs | Frontend Challenge Entry

I've been looking for a small project to do that would let me play with Greensock (GSAP), specifically a bit with some SVG files I generated with Corel Vector. When I saw the frontend challenge and had an afternoon at work with downtime between a few projects, I knew it'd be a great opportunity to explore a bit!
