🌟 Project Values

Welcome to the values page of js-charts. This project is more than just code β€” it's a space shaped by the principles and intentions of everyone who contributes. Below, you'll find the core values that guide our work, collaborations, and community.

🌱 Why I Started This Started

I hope that everyone that uses or contributes to this project learns something new.

I started this project to learn modern CSS and JS, but so far I have learned so much more...math, statistics, analysis. The list continues to grow.

After spending considerable time on the project, it also felt like something that I wanted to share, and hopefully learn from others who are willing to continute! 🀝
