When I first came across this lovely site, I was very confused that the active accounts had dropped to zero. Alas, they have not. My confusion stemmed from the axis starting at the min. value and not zero. In data vis this is usually discouraged when not trying to show a specific change in the data (not an overview of change over time). The current design exaggerates small changes in data, and due to the flexibility of the scale, snapshots taken at different times cannot easily be compared.
Now I don't know the rational behind why the axis origin is set at min. value, so I want to first open the discussion here before submitting a pull request. As far as I know this would be possible by setting ResuableChart.vue yAxis: { min: 0 ...} and I would be happy to implement this, although I am not sure that it will not break anything.

It would also be possible to set the design to nice (see here) but I am not sure if
this would clash with other design decisions or would be desirable.
More involved would of course be a toggle between different visualisations.

Thank you again for the great recourse!
