  • Show HN: Text-to-Chart – create charts with natural language
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Apr 2023
    Hi HN,

    I maintain a chart generation service, QuickChart (https://github.com/typpo/quickchart), which renders millions of charts per day. The most consistent pain point for users is that charts require some programming ability, or at least a fairly strict JSON schema.

    The intent behind this project is so make charting functionality more approachable. Instead of messing around with D3 or Chart.js for a one-off, you can just embed https://quickchart.io/natural/red_bar_chart in an image and call it a day. The fuzziness of GPT is helpful for getting things "mostly right". After you have a template that you're happy with, you can modify the chart with precision, e.g. https://quickchart.io/natural/red_bar_chart?data1=3,5,7&titl.... The idea is that you don't have to mess around with JS configs, hosting, etc.

    I welcome your thoughts & feedback.

  • Server side render o composite chart

    I ended up trying out quickchart. with their gem quichart-ruby it's really easy to use and it ended up giving me a lot more flexibility in making charts than gruff initially gave me.
  • Show HN: A no-code chart builder
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Apr 2021
    Hi HN,

    I maintain QuickChart [0], an open-source web service that renders images from Chart.js configs. It is useful to people who are embedding charts in static contexts such as emails or PDFs.

    A lot of people from no-code communities have reached out for help with crafting their Chart.js configs. So I decided to make this interactive chart builder that lets you create a chart template and generate dynamic charts from it.

    The idea is that you get most of the flexibility of hand-coding a Chart.js config, but adding your data to it from a spreadsheet/airtable/no-code app is as easy as appending a few values to your custom chart endpoint.
