Super awesome work. Obligatory plug for https://nomie.app/. Fantastic tracking tool I have no affiliation with.

There is plenty of value in owning your data and bringing awareness to what companies are storing about you. Further I find tracking my data satisfying and meditative in itself. Digital collecting. Example: https://data.tomhummel.com/sneezes/
I agree. This approach with vanilla JS acts as a good bridge to a library like D3. For me, D3 took a little effort to get off the ground but contains some very powerful features.
