#22Re: Tinychart – simple, ready-to-go charts
#23This is my first project in React.js and it was really nice to work with. The only part I struggled with was while building the table editor. I'm using contentEditable there and apparently React doesn't play well with it. The virtual DOM gets out of sync after user input and you have to manage it manually. I really enjoyed making this and I'm happy to hear any feedback about ways to improve it! :)

I browse with cookies and localStorage disabled by default (I whitelist sites I need to log into). Your site just comes up blank for me... maybe it requires localStorage for some reason? Not sure why it would, but at least you might want to display a message indicating such.
But you are totally right that it should not be requirement. I will fix that today. Thanks for letting me know!

#25Nice idea. A few possible improvements: 1. Import data from csv, excel etc, from file or textarea. 2. The chart should be resizable. 3. Color schemes would be nice to have.

#26Does anyone know of a (free) JS graph library that allows for data at irregular intervals? I'm looking for something like this, but with a more permissive license: http://www.highcharts.com/demo/spline-irregular-time
Maybe http://metricsgraphicsjs.org/ could help you with this.

I guess the visibility of the other two was pretty low, is it really that annoying? I didn't see it before I'd have to be here all day to notice the two other posts.
I bit my tongue last time, but seriously, this is one of the most garbage demos I've ever seen. Granted, maybe this is my fault somehow, a plugin, or who knows; at first glance 1/10.

#29I do quite like the mouseover data points, I realize these are pretty standard on online charts, but I think he did a good job on them.
However, his chart's constraint on the time series -- really only a logistic progression is supported -- means that it essentially can only produce bar charts. I notice that it simply fails when data is missing from any table cell, which is probably an issue for any potential user; how does one then represent the absence of data?
[1] Disclosure/DK-filter: I do not work with charts or tables of figures, and I don't know a great deal about the topic: I mention it because my understanding is that that false implication of continuity is a serious flaw in chart design.
