Python/Flask and plotly. Highcharts is also useful (great heatmaps), but requires Javascript.

I found bokeh to be unnecessarily complex. What one can do in plotly in 50 lines of code is x10 that in Bokeh.

Jupyter voilà is new but looks very helpful.

Have done some good things with Plotly and Dash.

Sorry, I didn’t that you don’t need any programming with QlikSense.

BTW I am not affiliated in any way. Just had a pretty good and fun experience with it.

Cheers, Cord

After looking at options, I decided to go with Bokeh and actually built a semi-functional prototype last night (by hacking one of their examples).

I worked only with bokeh so far, but must admit that LongGamma might have a point.

You shouldn't compare Plotly with Bokeh, but Ploty Dash with Bokeh, and after looking at it a bit it might be possible that I migrate to Dash in the future.

A fair comparison IMHO:

in dash:

Well, it's too late since I kinda gotten to the point where the two screens i need kinda-sorta-work. Not polished, but good enough for finance :0
