What’s the Opposite of Over-Engineering?
Our goal is to make building dashboards as simple as possible. Incredibly, simplifying things confuses developers who are used to paid tools that require application servers, expensive clients, and heavy processing for data analytics. We have to explain that number crunching is not the purpose of this tool.
Simplicity is the Goal
Output Charts are used to build dashboards by combining charts meaningfully and populating each chart with data. That’s it. There are no database connections, no endless configurations, and no need to hire a team of engineers to set it up.
Want automation? Easy. Each chart has an API endpoint that you can call to update its data. Paid users get an API key, and with a simple PUT request, your charts will always display fresh data.
Set up a cron job, a scheduled Lambda function, or whatever works for you.
Data Formats: JSON? CSV? No Problem.
Each chart requires data in a specific JSON format. But what if you don’t know JSON? No problem!
You can also provide data in CSV format, and we’ll ask AI to help format it. Just don’t paste megabytes of data—Output Charts is here to display results, not crunch them.
For example:
Instead of handing us thousands of raw bug reports, please give us the final count of reported vs. resolved issues daily.
That’s the data your boss cares about.
Keeping It Light
Many analytics tools want to ingest all your data, store it, and process it before spitting out a pretty graph.
That’s not our approach.
With Output Charts, you provide the numbers you want to display, and we handle the rest.
So, if you’re tired of overly complicated analytics platforms, try Output Charts.
They’re simple, effective, and free of unnecessary baggage.
