Overview

Lume is an open-source set of design guidelines for creating data visualizations that tell stories, and a component library that implements them, built for Vue applications.

Why we created Lume

Good data visualization needs proper research, on all fronts. We found that existing open-source data visualization systems lacked robust documentation, didn't follow design and accessibility best practices, or didn't offer a code implementation of their guidelines.

Being data viz enthusiasts and having high standards for the best graphics possible, we created our own system: Lume.

How to get started with Lume

On this website, you will find our design guidelines and documentation for the Vue components that implement them.
