Dead ?

is the project dead ? no update since August

Looks that way. Too bad, nice little library, reasonably well documented. Missing some features, but it had the right philosophy. Code examples next to charts like that.

Chart.js seems like an alternative, wish it had better examples tho.

Curious what other people think? I find the other majors good (plotly, highcharts), but for certain tasks unnecessarily complex, obscure documentation for examples and poorly licensed.

Hi @blazespinnaker, that's exactly what brought me here :)

I don't think this is a dead project though. For myself, I wanted to do some of the minor tasks which are not complicated in my free time, but turns out my free time is less than I thought since the beginning of 2020. Nevertheless I'll tackle some of them this year and still think this library has too much to offer to be left alone ^^

One particular thing I like about this library is it's reasonably easy to extend for personal usage. I'm still puzzling through the d3 stuff though. If anyone knows of a good guide for that, that'd be great.

I'm thinking about forking this as well until the maintainer returns. If someone else wants to volunteer will happily send them PRs. My d3 skills aren't that great
