In episode 52 of DejaVue (yes, it is a whole year), Dennis Adriaansen joins Michael and Alex to discuss data visualization in Vue.js. Dennis shares insights about building chart components, his experience with different charting libraries, and introduces his own Vue charting library. They explore topics like chart customization, performance considerations, and integrating charts into dashboards.

The conversation also gets into broader topics such as open source sustainability, UI libraries, and backend integrations with Nuxt.

Enjoy the episode!
