Show HN: GoJS - HTML5 Canvas diagramming library

This library is the culmination of two years of work by myself and another programmer. There's still lots to do, especially in the realm of animation and performance enhancements, but in spite of these I think it is one of the fastest and most complete canvas diagramming libraries to date.

Sorry about the site's look and feel, I have had little time to give it a (vastly needed!) makeover, but some people were asking when it would be released so I thought I'd make an announcement.

If you want to get right to the samples you can view them here: http://gojs.net/latest/samples/

If you have any questions (even just canvas-specific ones) I'd be happy to answer them. I've been consumed by canvas for some time now, so much so that if you asked a canvas question on StackOverflow there's a 10% chance that I was the answerer!

Quite timely, I was just looking for Gantt chart library. But examples page seem to consistently crash latest Aurora (18.0a2)

Oh dear I see that too on Aurora, though I don't see the same problem locally for some reason.

Thanks, I'll investigate.

No offence my friend. Given that there's d3.js, I doubt if this gains any traction.

Where exactly do you see a similarity to D3 besides the fact that they both use canvas?
