What Hacker News says
7 sourcesIt seems from here that Uber has no resources to maintain this library [0]. I hate to speculate that this could be related to their recent layoffs.
They are actively open to looking for maintainers though.

2 points · Open discussionOver the last 10 months I tried most of the better React-based graphing packages (I say React-based because this excluded D3 and co. which are in JS).
I finally settled on Recharts (https://github.com/recharts/recharts).
I tried react-vis from Uber (https://github.com/uber/react-vis) and Victory (https://github.com/FormidableLabs/victory). Also looked at Amcharts (https://github.com/amcharts/amcharts3-react) but didn't quite have the full React 16 integration at the time and it's paid software.
I actually started with Recharts moved away and came back :). Probably not going to move again. I found it was the best at handling stacked bar charts, scaling and legends. Victory is pretty good but a large library because it includes Lodash. Also the legends don't seem to play nice so had to build my own.
In ReactJS based data visualization made easySo I have started integrating React charts into our SaaS product. During this process I played around with Chart.Js React and ReCharts. Recharts has been absolutely fantastic! I would highly recommend it. The only downside is the built-in handling for time / date data isn't great. Where Chart.Js will be a better bet for that. During my research I did come across Uber's React charting library too: https://github.com/uber/react-vis, which seemed excellent.
In Ask HN: Data Visualization in ReactYeah, that does exactly the thing I was describing from a quick skim. https://github.com/uber/react-vis does it as well. I've found that attempting to wrangle one of these chart libs takes more time than a quick `myData.map(d => <line path={linefunc(d)}/>)` or similar.
In p5.js – A library to make coding accessible for artists, designers, educatorsD3 is a relatively low-level library for composing custom visualizations. There are some good high-level abstractions on top that integrate well with React and provide specific kinds of preconfigured charts.
