Good interactive charting tools?

[d000hg]

I've been really impressed some of the online charting I've seen recently - came across it looking into crypto but have some of my own uses for that kind of tech, e.g. https://trade.kraken.com/charts/KRAKEN:BTC-USD
The things I like are that you can hover the mouse and get interactive readouts, easily pan and zoom to inspect the data, etc - not to mention add annotations.
I don't need a browser solution as it's local data but my other option so far is a chart in Excel/LibreOffice and frankly that's so 2002. At least in Libre, I don't have excel on this box to test.

I have used Grafana in the past and it's great, but it is more geared to time-series visualisation as far as I can see.

Anyone know anything out there or got any tips?

Browser / Javascript data charting and visualisations seem miles ahead in terms of speed and features these days.

This is one of the best ones, and I think you can free license for own non commercial usage:

You'll almost certainly find everything you need in d3.js

Have a play with it at Observable - loads of examples, plus you can create your own notebooks to experiment with stuff. It allows you to mix text and live code, similar to Jupyter Notebooks for Python. There are more examples at https://bl.ocks.org/ - for example, Bar Chart with Tooltips - though some of those use older versions of d3 and have updated versions at Observable.

I like TradingView here

I looked at most of those above but couldn't really get started - I didn't want to build my own app and I don't really want to upload my files every time.
TradingView is almost ideal with the one pretty fundamental issue I am not AFAIK able to import my own data. It's almost exactly the toolset I need, but I cannot find anything of that ilk available as a standalone tool.

I actually started using https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/flow-csv-viewer/9nq7z06vrxbw a free app designed more for signal processing. A useful app if you ever need to quickly visualise large CSV datasets (like millions of rows).

There's a product called Tableau (https://www.tableau.com/en-gb) which looks like it could be good but is really rather pricey for a bit of mucking about.

Previous client used to use Tableau and dropped it in favour of Power BI. Whether they still use PBI, I don't know, but its licensing model has changed massively since then and what was a good value (almost free) product is now quite expensive if you want something beyond the absolute basics.
