So we redid our charts... (Part II: Graphing, React-ing, and maybe a little crying)

What's this blog post about?

The text discusses the process of revamping the charts in a video analytics product, focusing on the choice of charting library. Initially, Chart.js was used but later switched to React-specific libraries due to their better compatibility with React components and more flexible design options. Three main libraries were tested: Victory, react-vis, and Recharts. Ultimately, Recharts was chosen as it met most of the requirements and had a strong community support. The author also mentions other honorable mentions like Chart.js, Highcharts, and D3 or SVGs directly.
