Earlier quoted context omitted.

Supported across all major browsers :) We've covered much ground on the most used charts (while the heatmap just happened to be something we needed) and have the basic components down. That'll facilitate putting in, say, more axis charts in future. We're sure of not running out of ideas, there are just so many chart types out there :D

Do you have a separate repo with unit tests? If not, how do you test the charts?

We look forward to adding those (just created an issue). They are quite decoupled as of now, so shouldn't be much trouble.

I noticed, when viewing the demos on my phone, that there were some issues relating to responsiveness. Specifically, the axes labels were overlapping. Is responsiveness a priority with this library?

Other than that, great work. I look forward to testing this out.

It sure is. Just pushed a fix, thanks for reporting :) Do report any issues you find over at https://github.com/frappe/charts/issues

Nice work. The code itself is clear and concise also.

Thank you! We tried many approaches, but the simplicity of object oriented UI components is classic. Its much more refreshing to read old fashioned object oriented code vs hybrid libraries that seem to be trending these days.

Really cool that this is built completely from scratch. I expected a dependency on something like d3 at least.

Thanks! That just about answers the burning question: why another charting library? It all boiled down to us needing some simple charts for our report data; nothing fancy, just something that went with our classic design. All we needed was some mappers to translate numbers to relatively sized shapes (or positions). The graphs over at GitHub looked awesome to start the styles from; from there on we focussed on making them generic.
