Britecharts was conceived a bit over two years ago. We needed something that was fully tested with the flexibility to freely customize the look and feel. There were (and still are!) plenty of great libraries out there nvd3, c3, highcharts, etc. but nothing that quite fit the bill for what we needed at Eventbrite at the time. So we rolled our own and rather than keep it to ourselves, we decided to share it with the community!
My colleague posted a followup to a question on a blog post he wrote that goes into more detail about this topic if you're interested:

- rhizome 9y agoThe article mentions only d3 in comparison, what does Britecharts have that the ones you mention don't? UPDATE: Ah, it's (somewhat) in a third post: https://www.eventbrite.com/engineering/introducing-britecharts/#comment-9860 https://www.eventbrite.com/engineering/introducing-britechar...
- andybak 9y agoI hit this a couple of years ago and hoped things had improved. d3 was too low-level for my tastes (There are two types of programmers - builders and disassemblers. I'm the latter in that I like to start with something working and figure out how to take it apart). I toyed with Vega, nv3d, Bokeh and they all had great things going for them but nothing felt like it had nailed "making the easy things easy, and the hard things possible".
