Design Engineering Update
Introducing Custom Charts Collection
December 10, 2024 • Design Team
Visual storytelling is at the heart of Kinetix. We realized that standard chart libraries didn’t fit our “sketchbook” aesthetic, so we built our own set of Astro components that render directly from our markdown.
This allows us to drop in charts as easily as images, but with full interactivity and CSS styling.
1. Bar Charts
Use the <BarChart /> component to compare values. It supports both a corporate “clean” style and our signature “hand-drawn” look.
Clean Style
Perfect for formal reports or precise data.
