Ask HN: Charting tools
Hi guys, really simple problem: I need to draw some diagrams for me business guys. Basically I want a REST endpoint I can pump full of data and something that will generate a chart for me.
tl;dr
in steps:
1) configure what charts you want to show
2) send data to charts
3) tada - it works
anybody knows of smth like this?
