We currently use Plotly quite a bit where I work for a customer facing website with a wide variety of charts. Does anyone know what some of the tangible benefits might be to migrating to this instead of using Plotly?
I'd recommend pointing out the Plotly features you'd like to improve and seeing if the Muze team has solutions/improvements.

Hi, one of the Vega-Lite author here. I'm glad you like Vega-Lite and were inspired by our Infovis paper. Vega-Lite is much more mature than when we wrote the Infovis paper so I suggest you to check it out. Compared to Muze, Vega-Lite is embracing full declarativeness.
Hey I think you are Dominik (guessed from your handle). Thanks for the reply. Vega-Lite paper and layered grammar of graphics are the biggest motivations to write Muze. Vega-Lite is still my goto viz library for my ipython and JS work. Hence there are healthy intersections between vega-lite and muze terminologies and concepts. Would definitely love to check new development.
I've been a career data analyst for 12 ish years. At first I didn't get the reference to Tableau, because I use Tableau for about 5-8 hours every day. I've played around with every new charting library since Flex because I've always wanted to create a free version of Tableau that gets me 80% of what I use Tableau for, but with 1% the frustration of using Tableau. Problem was, I could never figure out how Tableau is a…
The example pages all have the visualizations in an iframe. Is that required, or is there some way to generate and display these without the iframe?
Where did you get the cool animation? It’s nice.

Animations like the one on the front page of https://www.charts.com/muze can be created using adobe aftereffects and exported using the bodymovi plugin as a JSON file along with keyframe images. The exported animation can be loaded using the lottie framework. https://airbnb.io/lottie/

Well - we took it from squatters :) and are trying to turn it into something really useful. That's why looking for feedback on what we've built!
Took it from squatters? Do you mean legal action? If so. I think this would definitely be worthy of a blog post on exactly how you did it. Everytime I search for domain names, they are all taken up by squatters who want 5 to 6 figure amounts and they have been sitting on them for more than 5 years, 10 in some cases. Of course I email them back laughing, but it does mean I have to choose something completely different…
Is there a plan to create a version that generate the graphs and manage all the filtering on the server side instead of having all the data in the browser? This will be very helpful for cases that uses large datasets... I built visualization using dc.js, and working with large datasets was the biggest pain point for me. http://adilmoujahid.com/posts/2016/08/interactive-data-visua...
Might I suggest giving Perspective.js a look? Supports many of the same visualizations as Muze (and some it doesn't, specifically datagrids), is user-configurable, written in WebAssembly (C++) for extreme performance, and can run trivially on the server via node.js - there is even a CLI version: https://github.com/jpmorganchase/perspective https://github.com/jpmorganchase/perspective/tree/master/exa...
WebAssembly is on our radar and is coming soon. But we just wanted to release a super early version of what we build so far.
Great Animation on the front page.
