   Both the introduction link [1] and examples link [2] on the D3 homepage [3] and Github [4] only shows sketches on Observable - is there any official D3 getting started documentation not on Observable? Similar frustations are aired in a fo

   I disagree with both of your points. I know it's hard to refute your first point as you could point to any example, but if I'm just trying to follow the happy, well-trodden path it's hard. Eg. I go to D3 website [1], I click

   Is anybody else annoyed by how tightly coupled D3.js is with https://observablehq.com ? It's basically impossible to get started with D3 without using the Observable online playground, I find it so frustrating.

   Ah yes, see the FB group "This isn’t wholesome, this is the Capitalist Dystopia" [1] for more examples of this in the US. [1]: https://www.facebook.com/groups/709692249462801/

    OsmAnd has directions in beta (using GTFS and OSM route markings) but it's pretty bad at the moment!

    Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it and add it to the table!

    Ah no! I'd try OSMAnd as the next best pick, it's extremely customizable and works on iOS and Android!

    I wrote this blog post as I'm often asked for a safe cycle route somewhere - hopefully you find this useful :D

    I think there are so many better routing apps for cyclists and walking but everybody defaults to Google Maps. Even people who ask me for advice on cycling routes sends me a Gmaps screenshot as if it's the only navigation app that exist
