AECharts is a web-based tool for creating animated chart videos. Users paste or upload data, choose a template, customize the styling, and export a polished MP4 — no video editing software or design skills required.
The workflow is simple: bring in your data via paste, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets. AECharts parses it automatically. Select a chart type and template, customize colors, fonts, labels, and animation speed in a live-preview editor. When you're done, export a full MP4 video ready for presentations, social media, or reports.

Chart types include: - Vertical and horizontal bar charts for category comparisons - Line charts for time-series trends - Pie charts for part-to-whole relationships - Bar race charts for animated rankings over time - Gauge, waffle, and Sankey diagrams for specialized use cases

The rendering engine is built on PixiJS (WebGL) and GSAP animations, producing smooth, high-quality output. Templates are designed to follow data visualization best practices out of the box.

User accounts are backed by Firebase with automatic cloud saving — no save button, no lost work. Your file library persists across sessions with full edit history.

AECharts is built for marketers, founders, journalists, and content creators who want to turn data into compelling visual stories without the overhead of motion graphics tools. Where Datawrapper and Flourish made static charts accessible to non-designers, AECharts does the same for animated video.

Recent releases have added some genuinely useful features. AI Commits let you generate commit messages and descriptions with one click, right from the commit area — handy for when writing a good commit message is the last thing you feel like doing. Automatic Branch Archiving takes care of housekeeping by detecting stale or fully merged branches and archiving them for you, so your sidebar doesn't fill up with clutter over time.

For teams with their own conventions, Custom Git Workflows let you define a branching model from scratch — trunk/topic branches, prefixes, merge strategies — or start from templates like git-flow or GitHub Flow, with one-click "Start/Finish Feature" actions to guide you through it. Tower also has Graphite Integration built in, covering stack creation, restacking, PR submission, and merge queue support without leaving the app.

Two more additions support more advanced setups: Worktree Support, for checking out and working on multiple branches at once, and Stacked Branches, which track parent-child relationships between branches so you can work with stacked pull requests and restack a whole chain with a single action.

Rounding things out, Commit Templates let teams reuse commit message formats across a repository, with quick keyboard access when you need one.
