#172Happy eChart user. Added a tiny Reactjs wrapper on the top and ditched all D3 libraries. Never look back. Easy to inline and embed into slatejs based documents. Usable on mobile and responsive enough for my use cases.

#173We've tested almost every visualization library under the sun when building Briefer ( https://briefer.cloud ) and I can confidently say that Apache ECharts is the best. The main issues with other libraries is that they're either: (a) ugly (b) difficult to use (i.e. having to do things imperatively) (c) not flexible enough Apache ECharts solve these 3 problems. It's pretty by default, it allows us to mount/calculate t…

#174I don't think I ever see Wechat and Weibo in the "Follow Us" box. Was this donated to Apache by a Chinese company? I feel like we will see a lot more of this in the coming years.
It's made by Baidu and Apache is sponsoring them (why I don't know, Baidu must have enough money right?)

#175Apache Superset switched many of their interesting charts over to ECharts: https://preset.io/blog/2021-4-1-why-echarts/
Look at Superset chart implementations and component choice all the time.

Agreed - geopolitics aside, it's been awesome to see how much Chinese companies have embraced open source in a number of different domains. I think the whole ecosystem is going to greatly benefit from the contributions of Chinese open source projects.
It is a country with public adverts explicitly saying "America/west is the enemy". Supply chain attacks via open source are already happening.

#177The line race looks so cool. https://echarts.apache.org/examples/en/editor.html?c=line-ra... Toggle the switches to trigger the race. By the way, well done Norway.
It looks neat, but unlike the Hans Rosling example someone else mentioned, the animation adds no additional information. Showing just the last frame would get the same point across much quicker and more accessible. It's a form of chartjunk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartjunk
> the animation adds no additional information.
No it removes information; to be able to focus on one period at a time as it evolves.
Seeing a "living graph" of how something evolves is different than seeing the graph fully drawn statically, that cannot be considered chart junk IMO.

#178ECharts is in my opinion the best out there. It surprisingly doesn't come up in a lot of lists or search for charting libraries. I've tried them all: chart.js, google charts, amCharts, Highcharts, ApexCharts. We use it in our tool/library https://docs.chartsql.com/
I think that’s because it’s a Chinese Project. Same thing with Ant Design Components, which are really awesome but not as well known as they should be.
Time to put on a conspiracy hat.
If you scroll down, the entire comment section reads a lot like a campaign to fix their search results & AI suggestibility.
Way too many comments read like generic seller-inserted reviews, eg "Great Product!", "Tried X, Y, Z but this solved my problem!".

#179longterm google charts user. This has attraction. Good eye candy feel, responsive.
There are some specific things google charts do, like mark out kashmir and other disputed territories differently depending on your origin IP/AS so you don't fall foul of Indian law.
There are some things google charts don't do, like re-center maps off the meridien they think is best. Scaling geo charts for the pacrim island nations is also very hard. No good choices there perhaps.
Is there a migration guide?

#180We use Echarts on our Bluesky analytics site
https://bluefacts.app/profile/bsky.app
Really great experience, we optimized the imports to reduce bundle size.
For https://www.appbrain.com we also use it and had to optimize it even more.We render it server side and only return the SVG to the client.
Server side rendering is a very powerful feature only very few chart libraries support.
