Alternative to Data Voyager with elm-vegalite? #38

Hi, I have a rather open question regarding potential usage of elm-vegalite.

First a note on the vega data voyager project. I find the vega data voyager project (https://github.com/vega/voyager) to be very convenient when exploring data and trying to find potentially good graphs. However, even for quick data exploring, I find some aspects of the vega voyager utility very frustrating. A recurrent frustration for me is the fact the graphs cannot take more visual space, we cannot control the visualization size. Another one is the fact axis ranges cannot be controlled, they are automatically adjusted with the data handled. But when visualizing means of binned content for example, the mean values can be pretty close to 0, while the actually values have a much wider range, resulting in very flattened plots such as this one.

So I kinda of have two questions. (1) Is there already another similar open source tool for data exploration like vega data voyager? And (2) How hard do you think it would be to make such a thing with Elm (probably with a mix of elm-ui and elm-vegalite)? That would have many features of data voyager, plus some more control on the plots if needed.

Sorry if this is not the appropriate medium for asking this question, I didn't see a place mentioned in the readme for this kind of questions.
