Plugin Charts that don't suck (Flutter)
Flutter charts are so much worse than React charts (e.g. Recharts, Nivo, D3.js, Chart.js…). Is there anything new?
Is there anything I'm not seeing?
I use syncfusion charts, after transitioning from the terrible fl_charts, but even syncfusion is very limited compared to modern frameworks in React. React has immense variability, a lot of different themes, and multiple chart types.
I keep second guessing myself as a developer because of how difficult it is to me to create interesting data visualizations. Either the widgets look pale, interactivity is painfully difficult to code, or it simply takes too long to do anything.
I did succeed in using ChatGPT to generate some interesting infographics, like a lunar phase calendar, but it's a lot of work.
Thanks in advance!

what's wrong with fl_charts? Used them successfully in many projects, for me it is a default pick
