How do you make pretty web graphs?

Hey all,

Wondering if you all had any inputs or ideas on how to make pretty in-product graphs? I know about Chart.js, Chartist etc, but I am looking for something that may be less scientific and accurate, and more of a way to display a general trend in a really simple and pretty way.

    If you're using React, I can recommend https://vx-demo.now.sh/gallery or the somewhat simpler https://github.com/williaster/data-ui. I've used the former to build pretty much exactly what you see in your screenshot (https://landen-misc.imgix.net/list-stats.png).

    That type of graph is usually known as a "sparkline" so including that in your searches might be helpful. I don't think you're looking for a less "accurate" way and rather a way to have a very minimal chart ui.

      You got it! Thanks, that helps a lot :) Didn't know they were called Sparkline...
