Fork of A Visual History of Stamen Open Source Contributors
This visualization presents a streamgraph of commit activity from the top 100 contributors to Stamen’s open-source repositories, with each layered area representing a contributor’s weekly commits over time. The layer order follows each contributor’s first commit, so reading from bottom to top reveals the chronological introduction of contributors. The graphic uses D3’s `stack` with `stackOffsetWiggle` and `stackOrderInsideOut`, applies smoothing via the `array-blur` library, and labels layers using `d3-area-label`. Data comes from a remote JSON file of all commits, rendered as SVG with a black backdrop to mask gridline artifacts.
AI-generated descriptionThis is an experiment in visualizing Stamen's Open Source activity over the years. Each layer is one of the top 100 contributors (by commit count) in a Stamen Open Source 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.
