RAWGraphs - The missing link between spreadsheets and data visualization

[jeau]

RAW Graphs is an open source data visualization framework built with the goal of making the visual representation of complex data easy for everyone.

Primarily conceived as a tool for designers and vis geeks, RAWGraphs aims at providing a missing link between spreadsheet applications (e.g., LibreOffice Calc, Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, Google Docs) and vector graphics editors (e.g., Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator).

@jeau this is a neat find!

Digging into it a bit, this is simply a front-end application, meaning you don't need a backend for it. You could probably host this via the Surfer application. Clone the repo, run yarn build as their README states, and then place the resulting build files into a Surfer application resulting in your own instance of RAWGraphs!

@thetomester13 you are right, it works ! I generated the build on my computer and transferred it to the root of a new surfer app. By default this build include Google analytics

@jeau ah yeah I see that in their index.html page, unfortunate you can always remove it yourself manually, but then you have to do it everytime you rebuild/redeploy.

perhaps come up with a sanitizer script that runs as part of the build process..

@jeau This is a wonderful suggestion, @jeau I certainly hope RAWGraphs is supported on Cloudron.
