This visualization shows the development history of the D3.js ecosystem as a streamgraph, where each colored layer represents a D3 package repository and its thickness reflects the smoothed number of weekly commits. The layer order from bottom to top corresponds to when each repository was first introduced, revealing the shift from the monolithic `d3` repository to numerous packages after the 4.0 release. The implementation uses D3 modules including `d3.stackOffsetWiggle`, `d3.stackOrderAppearance`, `d3.area`, `d3.scaleTime`, and `d3.scaleLinear`, with `d3-area-label` for layer labels and `array-blur` for data smoothing, rendering as an SVG from a JSON dataset of commits.

AI-generated description

This is an experiment in visualizing D3 Git History. Each layer is a D3 repository. The thickness of each layer is the number of commits per week with smoothing applied. This visualization uses a modified Streamgraph technique where the layer order is determined by the time of the first commit. So, as you read the labels from bottom to top, that corresponds to the history of when each repository was introduced.

On the whole, one can see that development occurred in the original monolithic d3 repository from late 2010 to mid 2014. In late 2014 we see an explosion of packages, corresponding to the 4.0 release of D3. Since that great explosion, we see a big push on d3-delaunay in 2018, and ongoing development/maintenance work pretty evenly distributed across the various D3 packages.

This piece was created as a submission for D3 Parade 2021.

It was the starting point for the open source project: stamen/git-history-streamgraph.
