Saite is a Clojure(Script) client/server application for the dynamic exploration of data and the creation and sharing of interactive documents and dashboards. Documents fully support creation of interactive visualizations, coupled with editors, markdown and LaTex. Dashboards can use any Re-com component for interactive widgets mixed with Vega/Vega-Lite visualizations. These documents and dashboards are saved as simple text and thus may be shared via any number of ways. End user creation of documents is highly declarative in form and nature. Dashboards may use of mixture of client side widgets and visualization and server side dataset processing for the final data to use.
