+elm-highchart
+=============
+
+A simple dynamic chart with highcharts but with most of the code done in elm
+
+It is just a proof of concept.
+
+To play with it download [elm-platform](http://elm-lang.org/Install.elm), 
+clone the repo somewhere and launch `elm-reactor`:
+
+~~~
+git clone https://github.com/yogsototh/elm-highchart
+cd elm-highchart
+elm-reactor
+~~~
+
+Now you should look at reactor at <http://localhost:8000>.
+First click on `Test.elm` to compile it, then open the `index.html` file in your browser.
+
+Enjoy.
