Hey @thomasp85.com @teunbrand.bsky.social, I created a chart builder built on top of #ggsql: plotr.org. Sort of the ggsql Esquisse version :) Would love to hear what you think! It's still very much experimental though.

I think about this comic all the time.

@thomasp85.com @teunbrand.bsky.social @gws.phd I wrote a little post about why I ggsql makes so much sense to me. Impressive work, congratulations! carva.lu/posts/i-love...

Hey @thomasp85.com @hadley.nz why do we see black rectangles on heatmaps when we select only x and y? What was the motivation behind it? I was talking with colleagues and we all agreed this is such a nice feature to quickly know if there's an intersection even before selecting the 3rd variable

I am excited beyond description to lift the veil on what we have been working on in 2026: Please meet ggsql! A new extension of the SQL language for creating visualisations using the grammar of graphics. Read all about it in the blog post or visit the website at ggsql.org

btw I periodically have to recommend runcat because it rules. the kitty runs faster when cpu goes up apps.apple.com/us/app/runca...

Hey @joshwcomeau.com are you still using Talon to control your PC via voice?

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

Hi @minecr.bsky.social @thomasp85.com! On the ggplot cheatsheet found in ggplot2.tidyverse.org you split geoms mainly by continuous and discrete. Where do the factors/categorical variables fit here? Discrete?

oh

well I am going to be thinking about this forever.
