Introduction
EvilCharts is an open-source chart UI website built with shadcn and Recharts, beautifully designed and handcrafted.
Wait... It's not another chart library. While searching for chart components with smooth animations and dynamic data visualizations, I realized there weren't many options available. So, I decided to build my own. Built with Recharts and Shadcn.
The Problem
EvilCharts is built by Gurbinder (Design Engineer @ Axiom.co). As a design engineer, I see ugly and common charts everywhere, and no one in the community is creating a beautiful chart library.
There are tons of chart libraries out there, but none of them are beautiful — even though they allow customization, I see that no one is customizing them and they just use them as provided via docs.
So, here I'm building a beautiful charts component website, open source, open code, it's all yours...
Why I named it EvilCharts?
"Evil" doesn't mean malicious. It means:
- Unapologetically opinionated UI choices
- Design-first, animated, unique designs
- Handcrafted with SVGs and Motion to stand out
Built on Recharts
While finalising the design for EvilCharts, I wanted a good headless chart library. I went over tons of chart libraries and found that Recharts has amazing features and is easy to use in every project.
