i could make all of the graphs from scratch using SVGs by describing what I actually wanted. adding as much detail as possible and asking it to ask follow up questions where it's unclear was key.
done via cursor composer.
i could even implement a dedicated chart theme and a theme switcher that provides context for all stat components. can't tell you how much I wanted to do this in the past but was capped by the effort it would take to figure this out on my own or with a dev.
