These are fantastic, thank you for sharing!

I’ve been exploring generating small charts with SVGs lately. Does anyone have good resources or suggestions for SVG chart generation? Ideally without requiring a JavaScript framework.

Here's a JS framework that seems to do almost everything you want (outside of not requiring a JS framework, of course). It's a Sass project and uses Node modules, so I wasn't able to get it running using vanila js. (I'm not much of a JS dev.)

I'm also interested in other players in this space. SVG seems like the ideal way to make static plots.

Without requiring javascript, at build time? Or at runtime?

I feel like hand-crafting charts with SVG is going to be an absolute nightmare.

You can use D3.js (or any other chart library that outputs SVG) and then just use the output SVG.
