I want to know where my money goes. I like to look at stacked-area (or column) charts of the categories of spending. To make this work I have some software I made ~20 years ago that does double-entry book-keeping. At the end of the month, I import statements from financial service providers (eg: Wells Fargo, Chase, PayPal, Stripe, etc). Lots of stuff is repeat purchases (eg: Shell Gas) and my software automatically categorises. Some transactions I have to categorise manually. Each category / vendor becomes an expense-account and my banks and CCs exist as assets and liabilities.

Once the import and reconciliation is done I pull up a my column chart that shows where the money went -- and can compare over time -- see a full year of movement. I've been through various charting libraries with it and most recently moved to ECharts[0] -- so I'm planning to expand with Treemap and Sankey style visuals.

The import process, which I do monthly takes maybe an hour. I'm importing from like 5 bank accounts, 3 payment processors, 4 CC providers. The part that takes the longest is signing into their slow sites, navigating past pop-up/interstitial, getting to their download page and waiting for it to download. Loads of these sites (WF, Chase) have been "modernised" and have some real bullshit UI/UX going on -- lags, no keyboard, elements jump around, forms can't remember state, ctrl+click won't open in a new page cause that damned link isn't actually a link but some nested monster of DIVs with 19 event listeners on each one -- and somehow still all wrong.

I think the most-best feature would be to have some tool automatically get all my transactions from all these providers into one common format. Gimmee some JSON with like 10 commonly-named fields for the normal stuff and then 52 other BS fields that each provider likes to add (see a PayPal CSV for example). Does that exist and I just don't know?

Coded mainly in Perl and Gnuplot, recently extended by Python Pandas and JavaScript Tabulator and ECharts

Dashboards have a lot of charts for different forms and data. This is another common requirement. This template recommends Apache ECharts, a powerful, easy-to-use, and flexible JavaScript visualization library.

We have developed an open source graphics library for react native APP, which is based on Apache ECharts and uses RNSVG or RNSkia for rendering in a way that is almost identical to using it in the web, and can satisfy most graphics situations. The project source code is available at https://github.com/wuba/wrn-echarts .

apache-echarts for charting system (it has 3d chart anyway)

How are you importing the definition? Assuming you are using "apache/echarts" and not some other lib named "echarts", you should be able to import DatasetModel directly and let tree shaking trim out what you're not using.

ECharts -- open source js lib for enterprise-grade charts

Yes this was done with a combination of GSAP Scrolltrigger https://gsap.com/docs/v3/Plugins/ScrollTrigger/ and https://d3js.org/

d3 - very power visualization library enabling dynamic visualizations. docs

Yep, Evidence is doing good work. We were most directly inspired by VitePress; we spent months rewriting both D3’s docs (https://d3js.org) and Observable Plot’s docs (https://observablehq.com/plot) in VitePress, and absolutely loved the experience. But we wanted a tool focused on data apps, dashboards, reports — observability and business intelligence use cases rather than documentation. Compared to Evidence, I’d say we’re trying to target data app developers more than data analysts; we offer a lot of power and expressiveness, and emphasize custom visualizations and interaction (leaning on Observable Plot or D3), as well as polyglot programming with data loaders written in any language (Python, R, not just SQL).

D3.js: A robust library to visualize your data and create interactive data-driven visualizations.

They are images so it could be any number of things, datawrapper, charts.js, d3.js to name a few options.

I made this interactive visualization that attempts to show the real-time frequency and location of births around the world. A country’s annual births (i.e. the country’s population times its birthrate) were distributed across all of the populated locations in each country, weighted by the population distribution (i.e. more populated areas got a greater fraction of the births). Data Sources and Tools Population and birthrate data for 2023 was obtained from Wikipedia (Population and birth rates). Population distribution across the globe was obtained from Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (sedac) at Columbia University. Data is processed and visualized at a 1 degree x 1 degree resolution, each of which has a different probability of a birth occurring in a specific time period. D3.js was used to create the map elements and html, css and javascript were used to create the user interface.

When I go to the homepage of types/d3 the only hint for any kind of documentation is what seems to be the main github page of d3. It's highly possible I'm missing something here, so sorry if I am but I can't find any documentation of how you are supposed to type these library objects.
