Hi, Romain,

I love you repo! ❤️ very useful!

I'm curious about your workflow. Could you please give me an overview? When I'm debugging, I find myself manually closing the server with ctrl+c every time I adjust the metadata.yml file. Then I have to restart it and refresh the page to see if the configuration is appropriate. If it's not, I have to repeat the previous steps. I'm not sure if there's a way to automate this entire process, such as automatically refreshing the page. I'm wondering how you handle it. Thanks again!

In general, when using vega lite, the default format is JSON. Do we have a way to use the Vega-lite specification directly? If the specification is complex, converting it to YAML can feel a bit cumbersome -- while many times you can find tools to convert from YAML to JSON, there will be a lot of manual YAML <<-->> JSON conversion process if you consider that debugging is required
