Lazy-loading wrapper for charts libraries that load only on demand

Built for app developers using ApexCharts or Chart.js.

Why this is a gap

Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.

The market

App developers using ApexCharts or Chart.js who load charting libraries on every page despite single-page usage. No search-volume data, but the pain signal is clear: unnecessary JS payload bloat.

Competition & the opening

Already owned an incumbent owns the exact job Moat 2/10 · no real moat Market 5/10 · a real vertical
Category giants · 8/10 vs react-lazyload (open-source npm package)Next.js dynamic() with ssr:false (built-in framework feature)Intersection Observer API (native browser primitive)Webpack/Vite code-splitting + dynamic import() (bundler-native)react-intersection-observer (open-source npm package)Loadable Components (open-source React code-splitting library)

Extremely crowded (eight/10): native solutions dominate—Next.js dynamic(), Webpack/Vite code-splitting, Intersection Observer API, plus four open-source npm packages (react-lazyload, react-intersection-observer, Loadable Components). The gap is narrow: no dedicated wrapper that abstracts lazy-loading *and* handles ApexCharts/Chart.js chart re-initialization after mount.

What's hard to build

Both ApexCharts and Chart.js initialize canvas/DOM state eagerly; lazy-loading them requires managing cleanup, re-instantiation, and state hydration. Bundler-native features already solve code-splitting; competing with free Webpack/Vite tooling is a commoditized problem.

Why now

Chart libraries remain heavy on every page despite single-use; most open-source solutions require manual configuration—a no-code wrapper closes the gap.
