Almost. The preview page is here - https://mooon.club - and should be live before the end of the week.

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.

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.
