Why make this?

This project is in part, an extension of my prior research into nonprofit donations networks.

I would like to write my own opinionated d3.js layout that deals with the scale-free and core-periphery characteristics of these networks. Having code to query and visualize a donations dataset was a first step.

I also have ambitions to create better looking interactive visualizations, and was curious by the interactivity provided by Observable.
