Nice proof of concept. Might be good enough for basic visualisations but once you det into labelling it becomes unwieldy.

Would love to see CSS + JS charts, which use custom HTML tags and injected JavaScript to declaratively create more interactive charts, but fallback to something like this if JS is not available

I've been recently searching for an accessible, responsive, CSS-only (bar) chart library. Chart.css mostly fulfils those criteria, but it doesn't support displaying chart _values_ within the chart itself. For example, in the bar chart you can see the relation between the values, but you don't see the absolute values. This makes the library a poor option for most statistical usages, unfortunately. In the end, I've implemented the bar chart myself to fulfil all the criteria.

EDIT: As pointed out, displaying values within the chart is actually supported via "axis titles".

If it hasn't had a release in 1 week it's obsolete and must be replaced with something that has half the features, breaks its API consistently and releases every 2 days.
