We encourage you to share your work, no matter how messy, on [Observable](https://observablehq.com). Sharing live code is the easiest way to let people see what you see, and to debug your problem. Strive for a [minimal, reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example) — it helps people hone in on your problem more quickly.

Since Plot and D3 have different goals, they make different trade-offs. Plot is more efficient: you can make charts quickly. But it is also necessarily less expressive: bespoke visualizations with extensive animation and interaction, advanced techniques like force-directed graph layout, or even developing your own charting library, are better done with D3’s low-level API.
