Scope of this project

[Mitgenosse]

Hello there,

for the past days I've been looking into this project as an alternative to tradingview. Tradingview obviously has a lot of features, so I'm wondering about where react-financial-charts is heading.

Up to this point I see that react-financial-charts has a lot of flexibility and customization options, which is nice. But it seems like you still need to do a lot to get some kind of nicely working charts.

Is there a chance that we get to the point where there is some kind of high order component that you just need to feed the chart data into, and that handles chart-related features by itself. By chart-related I mean things like drawing trend lines and horizontal lines/having a toolbar with those functions, being able to switch between candles/normal lines etc., adding indicators like EMA, etc.

The only thing a dev would need is to handle the data feed from any1 API.

What do you think?

We definitely want to simplify usage, part of the reason this project is setup as a monorepo is so we can add wrappers without bloating the core components.

so yes I think that should be on the roadmap to add toolbars etc similar to the utils package
