Vega-Lite VS Calculist

I like Vega-Lite: https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/ It’s built by folks from the same lab as D3, but designed as “a higher-level visual specification language on top of D3” [https://vega.github.io/vega/about/vega-and-d3/] My favorite way to prototype a dashboard is to use Streamlit to lay things out and serve it and then use Altair [https://altair-viz.github.io/] to generate the Vega-Lite plots in Python.

I was diagnosed in 2011 and have struggled a lot to stay productive as a software developer. Somewhat ironically, I've also been building productivity software for my entire career (most recently Calculist), and I think that the combination of those two things puts me in a unique position to help my fellow people with narcolepsy.
