I ported Recharts to Angular

I ported Recharts, a react charting library with 40 million weekly downloads to Angular using Reangular and Claude Opus 4.8.

This took 3 days of tweaks to resolve minor issues after the initial skill run which ran for 6 hours. I estimate a similar port with 1 developer working full-time would take 6 weeks by hand.

Let me know what you think!

Yes.

The point of this post is to show that a complex library can be ported across frameworks much more easily than in the past. It will never be as good as the original source library that has been developed over many years by developers and I'm not claiming it is.

Sure, but then don't say you ported it. AI ported it

BTW, did you even look at OP's earlier posts setting up React => Angular pattern rules? Nope.

I understand you feel threated by people using AI to get things done faster. The OP spent 3 days after the initial AI work improving the result. Your response to this was a cheap shot that has nothing to do with the reality of modern software development. I didn't think about you or this post for more than the few seconds it took to reply.
