I built ChartFromText.com to solve a simple but recurring annoyance of mine.
I often need a quick chart for a README file, a Slack message, or a simple presentation, and firing up Google Sheets or Excel always felt like overkill. The goal was to create the absolute fastest path from raw data to a usable chart.
You just paste text like Apples: 50, Bananas: 80, and the chart appears instantly. What it does: Parses simple key-value text (colons, commas, or newlines).
Instantly generates Pie, Bar, and Line charts. Renders data labels directly on the chart for readability. Lets you download the chart as a PNG with a clean, white background, ready for use anywhere.
