Description

When using visual excuses, generating a html file requires the creation of a lib directory by the pyvis plugin. Although this is minor, this somewhat pollute the directory in which you run visual-excuses.

It would be great to maybe create this in /tmp and print on the screen the URL so that user can just run xdg-open <path_to_html>

Contributor guide

Research direction
