Nice! The examples all look very close. Nice to have a repository of examples for how to re-create D3 charts in native apps.

Disclaimer: I worked on Swift Charts at Apple and I'm very excited to see it used!

Thank you for Swift Charts. I was surprised by how flexible and powerful the API is.

did it seem like swift charts would be supported long term? It seems interesting but I'm hesitant to use it if it seems like it might get axed

Apple is pretty good about not axing published APIs, unlike another FAANG company we could compare them to.

I wonder if Apple do (or will) use Swift-Charts in their own major apps, e.g. for all the various metrics in the Health app on iOS.

Recently, a post about the limits of box plots went through HN. It praised violin plots as better alternatives[0]. Are those supported in Swift Charts?

Not directly, but like most of the examples in the repository, they can be recreated with some custom drawing.
