Is there any way to create a demo for it?

Sounds like this has lots of potential but there seems to be no demo available. I may be missing the central idea but presumably the principle would work on a web page too, right? Could you create a basic easily accessible demo page?

That would be better than needing people to install that finance app (no disrespect but I'm not putting some random app on the phone just to see if this any good and I doubt I'm the only one with that kind of concern)

Hi! Thank you for your comment. The app here is a demo app that you can build locally on an emulator or device. The Yahoo Finance app uses this library for its version of audio charts. You are right in that the concept can very well extend to web - this is exactly the reason we open sourced this. To see where the developer community takes the solution!

The majority of the logic is in this folder https://github.com/yahoo/SongbirdCharts/blob/songbird/songbird/src/main/java/com/yahoo/mobile/android/songbird/util/SongbirdChartViewUtil.kt. Please let us know if this was helpful or we can help clarify anything else. Keep us posted on adapting this for web! Thank you!

Hi @scha14
Thank you for getting back so quickly with that information. It is a helpful start.

What I think would be good if there isn't yet an easy way for people to use this (ie before they decide to run it in an emulator which would require set up) would be a quick video of it in action. I've done this with a few simple repos of mine, where you upload onto YouTube a brief video of it running and then link from the README to that video, then people can tell what it is before they invest extra effort (if it's what they're after then they'll proceed and if it isn't then they haven't lost time)
