AMCHARTS.

我们的历史
amCharts是一家位于立陶宛维尔纽斯的公司。amCharts 和 amMap 的开始是在 2004 年，当时创建了 amMap 的第一个版本。Antanas Marcelionis 曾在一家网络开发公司担任经理，作为地图和旅行的粉丝，他希望有一种工具可以像图钉地图一样为他工作。所以他在空闲时间制作了这个工具。2006年，安塔纳斯离职，但并不清楚他下一步要做什么。在一些朋友的帮助下，他加深了自己的编程知识（编程只是一种爱好，因为他在传奇的 Sinclair ZX Spectrum 上知道 Basic），有一天他决定制作一个饼图。花了几个月的时间才发布饼图的第一个版本。然后这一切都发生了，几乎就像这部 Dilbert 漫画一样。

第一张图表出现在几篇文章中，人们开始使用它。几个月后，引入了折线图和面积图。柱形图和条形图紧随其后。amCharts开始获得普及和认可。很快，amCharts的产品进入了市场上最受欢迎的行列。知名公司开始将 amCharts 视为最佳图表解决方案。

与他们现在教给你的相反，我们相信，如果你确实创造了伟大的产品，他们就会推销自己。事实上，很多杂志和博主都写过关于amCharts的文章。最受网页设计师欢迎的杂志之一，Smashing杂志，有一篇关于amCharts和amMap的专门文章。我们要感谢所有从心底里写信并链接到我们的人，从而为我们的产品提供了应有的飞跃！

我们的团队
15+年后，amCharts仍然是一家小公司。通过选择。我们相信，多年来，保持它的小型和灵活性是让每个参与者都能获得有趣和愉快的体验的方法。

我们紧凑而灵活的团队遍布全球，员工来自立陶宛、美国、加拿大、德国、罗马尼亚和荷兰。

Antanas 仍然是首席程序员。Martynas 参与开发和产品设计，同时管理我们超优秀的支持团队以及所有业务。

Gediminas是amCharts所有视觉背后的创意天才。如果你在这里找到一些看起来不错的东西，那可能是 G 设计的。

Ty — 我们的制图专家 — 负责绘制地图。

Paul在夏威夷的家中工作，担任技术顾问，一些插件和平台组件（Angular，React）的开发人员，并向我们提供我们目前在烤箱中烹饪的新产品。

Anthony 在支持我们的用户方面做得非常出色，团队的其他成员也参与其中。

Alan 负责与外界的沟通，以确保我们掌握更广泛的开发人员社区的脉搏，并帮助其充分利用 amCharts，并领导 Chart Editor 项目。

仅此而已。

我们的理念
如果我们必须用一个词来概括我们的理念，那就是以用户为中心。（嗯，这实际上是两个词）。对我们来说，它结合了以下基石：

在使定价和许可尽可能简单方面不妨碍我们的用户的概念。无需承担复杂的费用和续订结构。
为那些无力支付费用的人免费提供我们所有的软件，并具有完整的功能。
倾听用户的声音。您在我们的产品中看到的大多数功能都是具有实际需求的实际用户的建议的结果。
最后，提供业内最佳的技术支持体验。时期。
所有这些都使我们能够继续开发amCharts产品，并非常享受整个过程。我们坚信，我们拥有最好的团队和最好的产品，我们看到了一条笔直的道路，未来会有很多令人兴奋的事情。

Our history
amCharts is a company based in Vilnius, Lithuania. The beginning of amCharts and amMap was in 2004 when the first version of amMap was created. Antanas Marcelionis worked as a manager in a web development company and, being a fan of maps and traveling, wanted to have a tool to work like a pin-map for him. So he made this tool in his free time. In 2006 Antanas left his job without any clear idea what he’ll do next. With the help of some friends he deepened his programming knowledge (programming was only a hobby since he knew Basic on the legendary Sinclair ZX Spectrum), and one day he decided to make a pie chart. It took several months to release the first version of the pie chart. And then it all happened almost like in this Dilbert comic strip.

The first chart was featured in several articles, and people started using it. After a couple of months, line & area chart was introduced. Column & bar chart followed. amCharts started to gain popularity and recognition. Promptly, amCharts’ products entered the ranks of the most popular on the market. Prominent companies started recognizing amCharts as the best charting solution.

Contrary to what they teach you nowadays, we believe that if you do create great products, they will market themselves. Indeed, a lot of magazines and bloggers wrote about amCharts. One of the most popular magazines among web designers, Smashing magazine, had a dedicated article about amCharts and amMap. We would like to thank everyone who wrote and linked to us from the bottom of our hearts, thus giving our products a jump start they deserved!

Our team
15+ years later, amCharts is still a small company. By choice. We believe that keeping it small and flexible is the way to make it a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone involved, throughout the years.

Our compact but agile team is spread out across the globe, with people working out of Lithuania, United States, Canada, Germany, Romania and The Netherlands.

Antanas is still the lead programmer. Martynas is involved with both development and product design while managing our super-excellent support team, as well as all things business.

Gediminas is the creative genius behind everything visual at amCharts. If you find something that looks good here, it’s probably G who designed it.

Ty — our cartography specialist — works maps.

Paul, operating from his house in Hawaii, pitches in as a technological consultant, developer of a few plugins and platform components (Angular, React) as well as lending a hand with new products we currently have cooking in our oven.

Anthony is doing an excellent job at supporting our users, with the rest of the team pitching in as well.

Alan handles communication with the outside world to ensure that we keep our finger on the pulse of the broader developer community and help it get the most out of amCharts, as well as leads Chart Editor project.

That’s about it.

Our philosophy
If we had to summarize our philosophy into one word, it would be user-centric. (well that were two words actually). For us it combines these cornerstones:

A notion of not getting in the way of our users in terms of making pricing and licensing as straightforward as possible. Not burdening with complex fee and renewal structures.
Providing all of our software, with full functionality, for free for those who can’t afford to pay for it.
Listening to our users. Majority of features you see in our products are results of a suggestion by an actual user with an actual need.
And finally, offering the best technical support experience in the industry. Period.
All of this allows us to continue working on amCharts products, as well as greatly enjoy the whole process. We strongly believe that we have the best team and the best products, and we see a straight road ahead of us, for a lot of exciting things coming in the future.
