A live look at some of the CSS tricks that power the State of JS's charts ➡️ https://lnkd.in/d63vKavj The State of JS is a yearly developer survey that publishes rich, interactive reports. Survey maintainer Sacha Greif will share why and how they recently switched from using a third-party React library that generates SVG charts to a home-grown solution that relies primarily on good old HTML/CSS. A huge thank you to Sacha for running this session for us, please make sure to check out the results here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/d63vKavj 🎥 ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dxXJ8YF4
