On a somewhat related note, I've always been impressed by the number and quality of charting libraries for the web. A while back I was looking for native charting libraries for Android/iOS and was disappointed. Has the ecosystem changed at all or are most people better off with embedded web views?

fwiw, I've liked https://github.com/danielgindi/Charts for iOS, which is based on an android charting library called MPAndroidChart.

One of the Chart.js contributors here. Version 2.0 is a massive overhaul of the underlying library focused on ease of use and extensibility. Hundreds of issues from the 1.x branch have been resolved, making Chart.js even more stable and user friendly than ever! Here are a few of the core changes: - Github Organization: Moved from github.com/nnnick/Chart.js to our own org, github.com/chartjs/Chart.js, where we hope to…

Can you add HTML to the documentation, along with using it with a CDN? Im trying to use it in a test app but I;m not quite getting how everything is fitting together. A single HTML page with everything on it would be really ideal.

I am using metrichgraphics[1], it's based on D3.js I was looking at charts.js but it didn't had enough options. [1] http://metricsgraphicsjs.org/examples.htm

Another D3-based, open source library is Contour: http://forio.com/contour/

Easy to implement basic charts like line, bar, pie, scatter, etc. and extensible with D3.

I wish the site had a dedicated demo gallery to show case the features, especially the animation and responsiveness. There are some demos in the documentation, but nothing that gives chartJS the showcase it deserves. Don't get me wrong. This is a wonderful piece of work and I want everyone involved to succeed.

That's the next major milestone for the docs. We've discussed it, but didn't want to delay the v2 release for it. We're planning on implementing a user showcase in addition to just a few core demos. We'd love your help if you're able to contribute!

In a demo, I'd like to see especially how degenerate cases are handled. For example, in a point-graph, lots of points almost at the same location. Or in a bar-graph, some very small bars, and some very large bars. Also, I'd like to see how it handles huge amounts of data. Convince us that this library is ready for the real world :)

@amelius - those are great suggestions. If you could built it in or even help supply the datasets, we could get that up pretty fast.

We're working on adding more comprehensive demos, embedded with CodePen so they can be edited and forked. Until that is done, you can see a number of examples here: https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/tree/master/samples
