Consider rewriting the hero text/project "tagline"

[MarkBennett]

It's not totally clear why I should care about, "Composable, responsive, React-based data visualization".

Reading the motivation it seems like you've learned a lot over the last year, but I'd zoom in on the pain or challenge you faced and how how this solves it, then put a sentence that states the pain and how your library solves it. Would help put it in context for others trying to understand it.

Got it. Good feedback. Thanks for the advice.

I rewrote the Motivation section completely: any chance you could tell if this is an improvement @MarkBennett ?

Why?

I've worked with a few great, battle-tested React data-vis libraries, including Formidable, Nivo and React-Vis. While these are often enough to produce beautiful charts with very few lines of code, they have limitations when attempting to integrate with more complicated data-centered apps.

Some of the things I struggled with were:

• applying responsive design principles to alter text or visual design depending on screen size
• rescaling axes in response to user interaction or container size
• supporting non-mouse events that modern users tend to expect, like swipe and pinch gestures
• seemlessly interconverting between SVG (server-side rendering!) and canvas (animations! performance!)
• using component-centric engineering to mix chart types or creates new types

Hypocube introduces a layer of indirection between the "data", as mapped on a Cartesian plane, and the "design", authored in units of pixels. A base Chart component manages the scaling and passes it down via context. Hypocube uses several parts of d3 to manipulate drawing instructions, but takes a React-based approach to managing the DOM - and the canvas context.

That looks way better Casey! My only suggestion would be to try to summarize it in a quick sentance at the top of the page. You'll probably want to do this in your own words, but something short and sweet like:

"Performant, responsive and powerful data visualization for your React applications"

OK.

Thanks so much for all your help with this 👍
