Replace Highcharts #308

Open hazelshapiro opened 1 week ago

Sandy shared information about the Benefit Tool at a partnership meeting that included some developers.

Sorry, 'bug fixes' may not be the best place for this, just want to be sure it's captured somewhere

An excellent observation. Last I checked, I believe it was when starting the prototype, Highcharts permitted non-commercial use without applying for a license, but that seems to have changed since then. I don't know if this applies to the version we're currently running or not, but my guess is the changed license applies retroactively or something. The only non-commercial free license option is now an "Educational license" which requires us to apply and lasts 1 year. We should move off of this software IMO.

Highcharts is only used for rendering the Sankey diagrams, so replacing it won't touch very much code.

Thanks for this - very clear and now it does belong in the bugs category!
