Hi, I’ve looked around and the current landscape for chart plotting in PHP (on the server side) is pretty bleak Even commercial options aren’t supporting PHP 8.4 yet or are years out of date.
I would like to use Plotly…but…PHP is not one of the currently supported languages. I’m a veteran full stack developer and have used Plotly through several other languages (its my go to for charting), I would be entirely willing to do the ground up support for Plotly in PHP, so it could be fully used server side in PHP projects.
But I have no idea if if its allowed, or who to contact about getting permission, organizing etc. I’m not trying ask anyone else to do the work here; this is something I’m entirely willing to do…but I’m not sure where to start, what guidelines are to be followed when casting to a new language etc.
Can anyone point me in a direction to get started?
Note: this is not about WordPress or Laraval, OctoberCMS integration etc. There are other use cases where you want to render offline, without JavaScript or needing a Google API key etc. etc. …and without having to write a plotting library every time you need that
