LodView vs lodview.it

Hi,
first let me thank you for this great tool!
I'd like to ask you whether you ever plan to open-source the features that the lodview.it service has and the version on Github does not, mainly "the browsing of any resource published using a SPARQL endpoint or published according to the rules of the web of data (aka content negotiation and RDF)".
_The reasoning behind my question is that in our school project we needed a tool to display remote resource in a pleasing way (at least in the early stages, before we will work with our local copies our our published resource) and also add some buttons that would link back to our application from the displayed concept (e.g. to accept the displayed result as the one chosen by the user).
Based on the demo at lodview.it we decided to go with LodView. Only to realize later that this functionality is seemingly not available or even has been stripped away. (We should have read the README.md more carefully.) Although we eventually managed to crudely adapt the LodView to our needs in our fork, its reliance on global static configuration in determining the resource to display is less than ideal.
Hi,
I don't want to share it on github just because I do not have any time to implement my (already poor) documentation... If you are going to use it for "school reason" I can send you the source code, just contact me on info@lodlive.it
Environment variable support is implemented in #47 and is now merged into the master branch so you can use it there.
