Issue: I want to create a note type dedicated to charts and which lets you, in each card you create using this note type, implement an interactive chart. (Interactive means that it’s not a simple image, you may want to be able to change variables and see the changes appear on the chart)

How should be the Note type: as shown in the image, the note type is separated in three sections (title, chart and the drop down menu on the right). The problem is in the chart section, how to make the note type so that you can implement any chart you want in each card you create using this note type ?

Recently I’ve been developing a tool for interactive plots which might be relevant here:

It is lightweight enough that it can easily be put wholesale inside a Note type template, avoiding other complex dependencies, and should suffice for basic needs of plotting arbitrary functions (defined in Note fields) with numerical parameters controlled by sliders.  
I don’t know your exact use case, though, and it is still a work in progress, so some additional effort might be required to adapt it to the task.

Far from being at that level yet 😀 Although it is quite similar to what I am aiming for, just for a different media.
