Congrats!

Any reasons I would use Vizzu apart from the alternatives? I am currently using Chart.js and I am happy with it.

Thanks! Chart.js is an excellent charting library and much more mature than Vizzu currently. The key advantage of Vizzu is the embedded animation capability. You set up two charts, and you can morph from one to the other and vice versa out-of-the-box. The automatic data aggregation & data filtering feature is pretty unique as well.
Interesting - with the focus on animations, Vizzu seems most similar to Gemini/Gemini2

This looks neat! We love the work of UW Interactive Data Lab but did not know about this one. Thanks for the suggestion.
