Looks good but not practical to use. I would love to see some JS support through which I can feed in data. Looking at documentation, I did not find how can I feed data. Looks like I have to calculate it manually or hardcode it.

If I missed something, can you point me to the right place in documentation? That's something that would make this useful.

You are misunderstanding the technology in play here. This is just HTML, rendered by CSS to look like a chart (if I understood correctly). If you want to change the chart just update the HTML data table that's rendered as chart with JS.

There is nothing the CSS files of the project could do to help with that - as no help is needed :)

What do you mean calculate it manually? Why not just load some data, and blat some html on the screen with the right classes attached?
