List of requesting features

Feature Description
CSV, Google Sheet import Can import data by CSV file or Google Sheet
HTML Exporter Export chart with nice format & animation in HTML

Problems

Working with chart = working with data, A-LOT-OF-DATA.
So the first problem is UX friendly. Is the UI with lots of input-fields friendly with user in this case? Absolutely not.
Then the most pressing global issue today is....

1. Support CSV, Google Sheet Import

  • Life will be easier
  • UI will be simplier
  • User will be happier
  • More way to import = more user traffic

2. HTML Exporter

  • One of website chart rendering advantages compare with boring-traditional chart maker (Excel, Docs...) is animation or better UI.
  • ChartJS already help you with the better UI, right?
  • Then you should take advantage in animated chart in presentation

Solution

1. CSV, Google Sheet import

  • For CSV there are many library to convert CSV file => array object or something similar
  • Google has published Drive API for centuries. You should look into their documentation

2. HTML Exporter

  • Setting up a backend API to push your user input chart data, user chart config
  • That API will retrieve those information & parse in pre-defined HTML chart template at backend.
  • Package or zip needed resources into 1 HTML or zip file. Then we will send it back to user.
