This is the start of a project to show data visualizations of job posting trends. The goal was to use the data visualization library D3js with React to produce compelling data visualizations. Due to scope and timing, I ended up using the rd3 library instead, which gives some high-level prebuilt data visualizations. If there was more time, it would have been nice to strictly use D3 with React instead of rd3.

The visualization in this PR is a treemap that gives the number of job postings for all of the technologies (languages) over the previous two months.

I also changed the CSS for the navbar links because it was not scoped properly, and there needed to be margin space for multiple links.

The API endpoint has been built on the rails back-end.

This is great!

You typically want to include screen shots for any visual changes in a PR - for example, looking at the deploy - the 'trends' in the navigation bar makes it looks like the site name is 'Looking For Trends' - including a screen shot in the PR makes it easier for reviewers to see things like that.
