Wrap this in electron?

[kanitw]

A number of my colleagues like this.
We think it might be useful to wrap this as an electron app so you can preview visdown file offline. Then you can make the app open a special variation of markdown (e.g., *.v.md files) for your app.

The reason for .v.md is that the file will still be recognized by other editors as markdown.

(We are using *.vl.json and *.vg.json for Vega-Lite and Vega apps too.)

@kanitw Thanks for the feedback. What you suggest would be useful. I have been thinking about building on this further in the following way.

1. Upgrade the webapp - Better design, Examples, Themes and Local storage with offline capability
2. Integration for blogging - Create an extension to support Jekyll to make it easy to add vis to blogs and static site
3. Standalone App - Either a chrome extension or an Electron app to make it a viewer for what you suggest - *.vis.md files

That is the intention. I do have to confess that my JavaScript skills are fairly basic and my experience in developing apps limited. So there is a steep learning curve to accomplish this. It will be a slow development path!

Any suggestion you have would be great. And I have to say, looking forward to integrate Vega-lite 2.0 in this.
