Wa, this is smooth, man. This is so cool. This is really sexy and cool, the examples page (https://chartgpu.github.io/ChartGPU/examples/index.html) has many good.
I hope you have a way to monetize/productize this, because this has three.js potential. I love this. Keep goin! And make it safe (a way to fund, don't overextend via OSS). Good luck, bud.
Also, you are a master of naming. ChartGPU is a great name, lol!
Thanks! The name was honestly just "what does this do" + "how does it do it" haha.
Interesting you mention three.js - there's definitely overlap in the WebGPU graphics space. My focus is specifically on 2D data visualization (time series, financial charts, dashboards), but I could see the rendering patterns being useful elsewhere.
On sustainability - still figuring that out. For now it's a passion project, but I've thought about a "pro" tier for enterprise features (real-time collaboration, premium chart types) while keeping the core MIT forever. Open to ideas if you have thoughts.
Appreciate the kind words! :)
Have you thought about leaning into some of the fintech space? They'd happily pay for the sorts of features they need to stream financial data (which is usually bazillions of data points) and graph it efficiently.
Off the top of my head, look into Order Book Heatmaps, 3D Volatility Surfaces, Footprint Charts/Volatility deltas. Integrating drawing tools like Fibonacci Retracements, Gann Fans etc. It would make it very attractive to people willing to pay.
