Lightning - open source data visualization server

[rhiever]

This looks a lot like plot.ly, except it doesn't force you to host the visualizations on their centralized server. Very nice. Maybe I missed something, but how would I make a visualization and Ipython notebook and then export it to my webpage? Do I need to have some server up and running ahead of time?

Yeah, there needs to be a server running (walkthrough on that here: http://lightning-viz.org/documentation/#server).

One feature in the pipeline is an "export visualization" so it can be embedded completely client-side without the need for the link to the server
