Hi everyone,
I’m in the process of setting up a technical blog using Ghost, where I’ll document some of my IoT-based projects. One of the key challenges I’m facing is determining the best way to embed real-time or regularly updated data visualizations (such as charts and sensor outputs) within Ghost posts.
For example, I recently read an article on https://www.theengineeringprojects.com/2023/06/top-iot-starter-kits-for-the-beginners-to-learn-programming.html, which introduces IoT concepts well. I’m currently running a home automation project based on these principles. Now, I want to display some live temperature and humidity data on specific blog posts in an interactive way.
Has anyone here worked on embedding live charts or tables into Ghost posts? I’m considering iframes from external platforms or APIs but not sure about security/performance impacts or recommended practices in the Ghost ecosystem.
For reference, I’m also looking into these tools:
- https://www.chartjs.org/ — for creating responsive
- chartshttps://www.highcharts.com/blog/tutorials/working-with-json/ — useful for integrating JSON data into charts
I’d appreciate any tips on embedding or plugin recommendations that are specifically compatible with Ghost. Any help or workflows you’ve used would be great to hear.
