ChartBear, an API to create chart images in seconds

Hacker News

A few months ago, I was asked to build a reporting Slack bot for our internal stakeholders. This bot, among other things, had to send them some charts. During my make-or-buy process, I evaluated some services, but I wasn't totally satisfied with any of them, mainly for two reasons: firstly, because in most of those services, the data is sent as query parameters, and since the data in my case are sensitive, I didn't want that. The second reason was that the rendered chart images were not as cool as I wanted. I'm the kind of person who likes beautiful things . So, I did some testing, and I realized there was room for a new API to create awesome charts in seconds. Therefore, I started drawing some wireframes of what would become ChartBear. Try it out for free, no login required!
