Very cool! D3s have always been hard to make. This is excellent.

haha indeed, flutter had some amazing insights into syntax and state management so it’s cool to see some of these finding new life.

That's exactly my thought. D3 is great, but just doesn't mesh with my brain. I have to relearn it every time and it takes stupid amount of effort. I'll try this next.

For even simpler declarative diagrams I'm a fan of Vega http://vega.github.io/

We use the slightly simpler vega-lite from the same group. It typically gets us most of the way there quite quickly. Downloads as svg and png is great.

They always ask for something out of scope and you have to dig a little through the docs (can we have long labels for our x axis, how about 60 categories for a scatter plot..). /rant. We haven't hit anything that couldn't be done though.

Its from the same team, just a more simple wrapper around D3.
