🎓 Key Learnings from example_ld Migration

What Worked Well:

1. Type Definitions First - Made implementation much easier
2. Test-Driven Approach - Caught edge cases early
3. Preserved Design Patterns - Bidirectional edges, collision avoidance
4. IndexedDB Caching - Handles large RDF files efficiently

Challenges Encountered:

1. D3 v5 → v7 Syntax Changes - Module imports changed
2. React vs. jQuery DOM - Completely different mental model
3. Type Inference - Some dynamic types needed careful handling

Design Improvements:

1. Added TypeScript - Better type safety
2. Separated Concerns - lib/ vs. components/ vs. hooks/
3. Test Coverage - Much more comprehensive
4. Modern React - Hooks instead of classes
