Any reason you chose highcharts over charts.js or plotly.js ?

I tried a few charting libraries including Chart.js, Taucharts and D3.
Much of Taucharts is undocumented, Chart.js requires a lot of configuration for something like a mixed chart with stacked bars, and D3, yikes. Its API documentation is thicker than Ulysses.
Highcharts required minimal configuration, had an intuitive and clear API and - most importantly - handled all sorts of messy data I threw at it. It just worked, out-of-the-box.
Tech-wise it's Vue.js and Highcharts on the front-end, Firestore on the back, and Zeit now/Firebase functions doing the grunt work on the APIs.
Once it's ready to go I'll pop it on show HN and go into more detail on how it works.
