ChartBear, an API to create chart images in seconds
A few months ago, I was asked to build a reporting Slack bot for our internal stakeholders. This bot, among other things, had to send them some charts. During my make-or-buy process, I evaluated some services, but I wasn't totally satisfied with any of them, mainly for two reasons: firstly, because in most of those services, the data is sent as query parameters, and since the data in my case are sensitive, I didn't want that. The second reason was that the rendered chart images were not as cool as I wanted. I'm the kind of person who likes beautiful things . So, I did some testing, and I…

ChartGen AIJan 2026 · chartgen.ai · ▲489Hi HN, I’m the maker of ChartGen AI. Last year, we launched a text-based AI agent called Ada.im. After analyzing thousands of user interactions, we stumbled upon a pattern we hadn't expected: users were constantly trying to paste data rows and ask for visual representations, but the text-based model couldn't handle it well. We realized that for marketers, seeing the trend is more valuable than reading about it. We pivoted that insight into a standalone tool: Drag & Drop: Upload raw CSVs (FB Ads, GA4, TikTok, etc.). Processing: We map the disparate column names into a unified schema. Viz: It…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
