Show HN: Server-side SVG price chart library that needs no front end JavaScript
- timdaub 5y agoHi HN, I submitted this as I think it's interesting to many given that there's a criticial mindset towards SPA-ifying every web app. I started svg-line-chart because I wanted to give my users the best possible experience on any network, device anywhere in the world. The website this library is used is cached everywhere using Cloudflare. It's PageSpeed Score is 100 and I believe that it has become a competitive edge that my website is fast and just loads. I don't have to download the data, I don't have to load JavaScript and probably SVG rendering is even accelerated using the graphics card (not sure). It has a small drawback, which is that it's non interactive. But for now that's been ok. If I had the time, I'd rebuild whatever is possible from d3js in svg!
