Developers are discussing a technique for streaming charts where data changes every second. Instead of the costly route of rebuilding markup or redrawing a canvas on each tick, the approach uses st-core alongside CSS to update visualisations without re-rendering the DOM. Commenters in the open-source web development community are sharing the method as a lighter-weight option for real-time dashboards and monitoring tools.

Why now: Front-end developers are interested in cheaper ways to render frequently updating real-time data in the browser.
