Excalicharts – Charting Library for Excalidraw

AI Analysis
●MidNiche Gem
Useful for Excalidraw power users, but chart generation is a narrow use case.
Strengths
- •Outputs native .excalidraw files—charts become draggable scene elements
- •CLI interface enables parameter tweaking without manual positioning
Weaknesses
- •Extremely narrow audience—only matters if you already use Excalidraw heavily
- •No details on supported chart types or customization options in README

Post Description
I very frequently use Excalidraw for presentations and writing, but the charting ability is relatively limited.
This project surfaces a CLI which supports a wider variety of chart types and parameters.
Outputting a .excalidraw file means that rather than endlessly tweaking parameters to get chart elements positioned just right, you can simply drag them around like any other Excalidraw scene.
