Create blog posts showing walkthroughs of using gganimate 🤸‍♂️👩‍🎨 📦

gganimate has a lot of big ideas - there are some but not a lot of examples , documentation and demos out there. we could collaborate together on some worked examples in rmarkdown and turn into vignettes and blog posts.

@djnavarro would be super-useful for contributing to this

I understand @mitchelloharawild is pretty clever at this too. Good project for the people that are coming

I was just mentioning on twitter that I should write a blog post about how to use gganimate with time series! Definitely keen on making a blog post about time series animations :+1:

Having just co-supervised an undergrad student doing a small animated data vis project where he spectacularly failed get gganimate to work I think this is extremely timely!

[djnavarro]

I like this. It took me a while to get a feel for how gganimate would behave, not just in terms of how to get it to work, but also in how you can get it do interesting things by playing with the easing functions, shadow wake, etc, and I'm still finding novel things in there (and novel ways to stuff everything up!)

We could even borrow from some neat examples like this thread.

I would love help improving my attempt to animate surgical waiting list data. Want to figure out how to better highlight tiles (patients) that enter and leave each month.

all the code and data are here

Mate, that vis rocks!
