I wish the site had a dedicated demo gallery to show case the features, especially the animation and responsiveness. There are some demos in the documentation, but nothing that gives chartJS the showcase it deserves.

Don't get me wrong. This is a wonderful piece of work and I want everyone involved to succeed.

In a demo, I'd like to see especially how degenerate cases are handled. For example, in a point-graph, lots of points almost at the same location. Or in a bar-graph, some very small bars, and some very large bars. Also, I'd like to see how it handles huge amounts of data.

Convince us that this library is ready for the real world :)

@amelius - those are great suggestions. If you could built it in or even help supply the datasets, we could get that up pretty fast.

Demo's would be great. It's hard to really see what the capabilities are without some good demos.

I recently had a project which required me to trend some data on a webpage. I ended up going with a package called JQPlot. Their website had really great demos - with example code.

One thing I really need is good support for multiple Y-Axis I can't see anything on your site about how to add additional axis or customise an existing plot axis (how would I force manual scale per axis for example).

You can see the StackOverflow post I made: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35262796/plot-multiple-sc...

Has an example screenshot of type of graph I was trying to produce.

That's the next major milestone for the docs. We've discussed it, but didn't want to delay the v2 release for it. We're planning on implementing a user showcase in addition to just a few core demos. We'd love your help if you're able to contribute!

There is a samples directory that has examples of most of the features.
