On: Bicycle Control Design in Python

[reallymental]

Plotly's got one great feature: Dash apps, that's it.

It's true bokeh can take a bit of work to get it to look like plotly, but I don't need to pay for it.

I think that's a more 'scalable' feature of bokeh.

It's just too damn bad that bokeh doesn't have something like Dash. I've tried Holoviews, bokeh apps, they just need so much more work. And its integration with flask/Django is just not there yet.

Hopefully future versions of bokeh will get this fixed.

I use plotly quite extensively. Never needed to pay a dime. Never even needed an account (until I wanted to use their forum).

So to me your critique isn't quite understandable.

There appears to be some volume limits for the free tier, that might explain the difference in experience.

Right now I get the following for most of the graphics on the linked page:

"This embedded plot has reached the maximum allowable views given the owner's current subscription.

Please visit the subscriptions page to learn more about upgrading."

Yes I'm aware its got the MIT licence [0].

I should have made myself clearer, I was referring to this particular example, where the OP's articles plots don't render anymore.

I know that's how they make money, by making it possible to share plots (or make them accessible) through their own platform.

One could have just* self hosted them with bokeh.

Oh well, to each their own. Maybe they just wanted to show the cool thing, rather than having to worry about all the devops stuff.

My gripe was pedantic, I know.
