Comments.Text: I'm not sure this question is really answerable in it's current format. Your question seems to be "Has anyone worked on a drop-in replacement for Reports that use html5 or javascript or anything but flash?" What does an acceptable answer look like in your mind? This might be better placed as an issue on https://lab.civicrm.org

Title: Replace flash-based charts with something that doesn't use flash
ThreadText: # Replace flash-based charts with something that doesn't use flash
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-08-13)
  
  Several core reports (as well as some reports provided via extensions) use the OpenFlashChart library to create nice looking charts via flash.
  
  Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it), flash is on the way out. Many browsers disable it by default.
  
  Has anyone worked on a drop-in replacement for Reports that use html5 or javascript or anything but flash? I know about Xavier's [CiviVisualize](https://github.com/TechToThePeople/civisualize) which looks very promising, but it's not clear how to use it in a report to replace the chart functionality provided by OpenFlashCharts.
