+
+Chartify is a Python library that makes it easy for data scientists to create charts.
+
+Why use Chartify?
+-----------------
+
+- Consistent input data format: Spend less time transforming data to get your charts to work. All plotting functions use a consistent tidy input data format.
+- Smart default styles: Create pretty charts with very little customization required.
+- Simple API: We've attempted to make the API as intuitive and easy to learn as possible.
+- Flexibility: Chartify is built on top of [Bokeh](http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/), so if you do need more control you can always fall back on Bokeh's API.
