Yes, we LOVE Adobe Illustrator ❤️

This industry-standard software is great for vector-based design. But there is one crucial feature missing - a robust charting tool. 📈

Yes, there is a built-in Graph Tool in Adobe Illustrator, but it hasn’t been properly updated for over 20 years!

That's why we created Datylon for Illustrator!

On this note, recently the new World Happiness Report 2023 was published. So naturally here's our design 👩‍🎨
