I think it would be nice with a section that points to similar packages. Of course this package would have its own selling points, and advantages, and they can only be highlighted by showing what others contribute.

Start:


- [`{ggeasy}` is another package aims to simplify `ggplot2`-patterns](https://github.com/jonocarroll/ggeasy/)

Hi @CGMossa, thanks for the comment :)

I was not aware of ggeasy . It looks like a cool easy way have much more control over themes, which simplevis does not support.

I am not confident to advocate for any other package without being very familiar with them though sorry

Thanks for the reply.

I'd like to suggest to keep this issue open, as a tracking issue for co-existing with (for now) {ggeasy}. Second, I'm not affiliated with {ggeasy}, but I'll take a stab at the issues you've encountered soon.

Also, I'd actually suggest mentioning projects that have the same goal, but might not necessarily play nicely with {simplevis}. This happens a lot in the Rust world, e.g. This is taking from evcxr:

But I'm happy with the welcoming suggestion. This is very nice and neat. I hope this project takes off :D
