The markdown generation in ingenious. This will integrate well with static site generators, and the charts are extremely lightweight.
I posted a Show HN a while back for charting project that is also minimal (zero) dependency, in a sense: https://github.com/typpo/quickchart https://github.com/typpo/quickchart
It's a web service that takes a Chart.js config and renders the chart as an image. Downsides compared to this: not accessible, not as lightweight. Upsides: works in email clients (most of which disable flexbox) and other embedding situations, more customization via Chart.js
- andy99 6y agoThanks for sharing this, I like this idea a lot. I had been playing around with using whktml to make image files out of the ChartSS.css charts for situations that require them. Having a web service like this is a cool solution.
- mritchie712 6y agoI might need this at https://seekwell.io/ https://seekwell.io/ soon. I was going to render things with a headless browser, but this would be much simpler. Curious, how do you rate limit? IP address?
- typpo 6y agoYes, the free API is rate limited by IP. Feel free to reach out if I can help (email in profile)
