   @tiffon good question. 
   
   we already support embedding charts (and dahsboards) with an iframe via a `url?standalone=true` flag. we've customized the queries of these charts with some success, but it doesn't allow for a pattern where you might want to expose vis controls easily. you could do this within the Superset code with url parameters but that adds more complexity. 
   
   instead we'd like to introduce modular data providers (for data sources and queries) and embeddable charts to enable greater flexibility in apps which hope to leverage the Superset backend. you could imagine wanting to build a complex visualization in another web app, but wanting to leverage Superset data to power it. This would also support that use case.
   
   finally, we also expect that the modularity that's enforced by this approach will also greatly reduce coupled code/related bugs.
