Ask HN: Quickest way to visualize JSON on a web page?
- A JSON api that returns a bunch of date-based data, that refreshes daily
- Represent some of that data in some time series line graphs
- Display those graphs on a web page that other people can access, so that the data is up to date when they visit
- free, or free for low traffic
What are some of the fastest ways to set this up? I'm personally trying to set up a covid dashboard specific to my area, for my friends and I to check daily. So far I've tried Google Data Studio hooked up to a Google Sheet that refreshes periodically, but Data Studio is broken half the time. I also have the capability to set up a whole Next.JS website that caches data but that's overkill in terms of time/effort.
Other things I've considered:
- jupyter but the html export is confusing and not dynamic, I think.
- observerablehq but that could also look kind of messy
- idyll-lang pushed to github pages, but I wonder if there's something faster/no-code.
