While it's great to have a link to the charts themselves, you'll definitely want to also inline some screenshots of the charts in action. Pages of code samples are handy as examples but you'll need that first impression to draw attention.

Nice library though!

Awesome library. @ahmeni is right include screenshots in Github as well & show the website link rather than writing the description with link in Markdown. Also, add link beside Github pages repo description too. Great job.

Finally, something simply brilliant to talk about! It's (imo) the perfect charting abstraction. Thanks for your hard work.

As a react chart enthusiast, I love this.

Add a max-width and center the content of the demo page to avoid elongated charts on large screens.

Does your library take into account that React really doesn't like DOM manipulation from external sources?

My team did some research on this and decided to write our own visualizations in D3 backed by React Faux DOM [1] for this very reason.
