The pathway to FL Chart
The story begins when we were in a [hackathon](http://www.hackahealth.org/en), and at the beginning, our designer showed me some chart samples and asked me to implement them(there was a curved line chart with animation), and as I decided to build up the app with flutter, I couldn't find any library and we skipped that design. 
although we skipped that fantastic design, we won the first prize.
as we were the only team that used the Flutter for mobile app development,
and I definitely can say that one of the most important reasons that referees chose us as the first team, was the Flutter because they were amazed by it.
By the way, the hackathon finished and we got back to the home, and I felt we need a chart library in the Flutter, and as all of us are a part of the community, we have to help to grow it.
I had experience with CustomViews in android, and I knew that we have the same Canvas, painting methods,… exactly in the Flutter, and I decided to start a new project and let people use it freely as an open-source project.
and at the planning phase, there was just a challenge with it, I didn't have any idea about drawing curve charts like this:

Throughout my journey, I've had a lot of problems on my way, and I want to spread them clearly.
