You certainly set a standard with the interactivity and general functioning of the charts you built! Kudos

I'm curious as to why, if it's seemed so difficult to replace them, that Google hasn't gone with a rather wide-spread and capable library like High Charts?[0][1]

edit: Or am I missing the core problem. Not that it's difficult for Google to coordinate on an internal chart library, but rather that it's a problem of integrating a new display format?

And while we're on charting, I recommend having a look at: https://cryptowat.ch/ (Though it has a bit of a different purpose)

I don't know enough about HighCharts. Funny to see that they also copied / were inspired by the Google Finance Charts sparkbar (that's what we called the thing that shows you the summary at the bottom with the handles that you can drag).

I'd imagine is a combination of "not built here", pride (google engineers always feel that they can build everything better than the outside world), and performance (Google was investing, and I imagine continues to invest, vast amounts of engineering in speed).

Oh I didn't know that was your invention! Well it is ubiquitous now!

That makes sense in terms of "built here" pride. Not at all surprised by that. Thanks
