A minimal fork of the D3 starter demonstrates a basic text output by selecting the body element and setting its content to "Hello D3 version 8" using `d3.select` and the text method. The page imports a constant `Yo` from a separate module, `new.js`, which exports the string "Eduard," and logs it to the console. Rendered via a plain HTML file with inline CSS and D3 v7 loaded from a CDN, the example shows how to begin a D3 project with modular JavaScript imports and a simple DOM manipulation.
