Show HN: I made a gallery of graphs built with React and D3.js

What is it about D3 that is hard to explain? I know that documentation is hard, but e.g. something about React makes it easily grokable, and something about D3 is the opposite. Do react and d3 compliment each other? Or overlap?

I think the rendering pipeline for D3 is actually the hard/strange part, and to be honest, the less-valuable part too (can be swapped with React). The rest of the API is great. The new strange, unordered observablehq examples with extra DSL interspersed aren't helping.

I agree a LOT with the comment below.

D3.js comes with function that modify the DOM. This is react job too. So using both together can be a challenge.
