Replicating D3 Charts with Swift Charts

Nice! The examples all look very close. Nice to have a repository of examples for how to re-create D3 charts in native apps. Disclaimer: I worked on Swift Charts at Apple and I'm very excited to see it used!

did it seem like swift charts would be supported long term? It seems interesting but I'm hesitant to use it if it seems like it might get axed

Apple is pretty good about not axing published APIs, unlike another FAANG company we could compare them to.

Recently, a post about the limits of box plots went through HN. It praised violin plots as better alternatives[0]. Are those supported in Swift Charts?

I wonder if Apple do (or will) use Swift-Charts in their own major apps, e.g. for all the various metrics in the Health app on iOS.

Instead of axing the API, it will be allowed to languish with longstanding bugs going unaddressed in perpetuity. Not sure that’s better.
