I saw this one recently too. Creates great intervals for a long-term load forecast.

What else would you like to know about ggpal2 🤭
## an ideal *ggplot2-bot* called **ggpal2** - extending R libraries, systems, or interfaces *usually* requires: - solving a common issue or task - enhancing usability or customization - expanding the use cases with new features - a **punny portmanteau**

The logo is becoming further from what I envisioned but I am starting to like it #particlecheese
Looks like an 8bit game, pacman, Mario, galaga mashup, it's also a quark particle and quark cheese mashup. It says "quark's adventure" with score and health bars across the top, the bottom says flavor boost, jump, run and a few other buttons

Really struggling to get a quark logo from Gemini 🥺
A hex logo that says quark in the upper left, a "quark" mascot in the middle with particles circling them and some plasma (?) beams behind them.

A 3D pie chart, purple, yellow, red, and blue. Tilted and floating at about 30-45 degrees, casting a shadow. Giving old school PowerPoint nostalgia. Shadow could be bigger imo.

Hey, I have a tentative talk planned!

Remember ggpal2? A speedrun package built on chores (fka pal) to help you build nice plots.

I updated the system prompts over the weekend, next is constructing the talk.

What is the #1 thing you want to know about ggpal2?

Of course!

I did manually take the screenshot after zooming, spinning, and playing with the plotly viewer lol. . Was trying to make a void theme like ggplot2 but not really familiar with plotly.

The code is in the alt-text too!
walks <- RandomWalker::brownian_motion(.num_walks = 50, .n = 5000, .dimensions = 3) library(plotly) plot_ly(walks, x = ~cum_sum_x, y = ~cum_sum_y, z = ~cum_sum_z, type = 'scatter3d', mode = 'lines', color = ~walk_number, colors = "Purples" ) |> layout( paper_bgcolor = 'rgba(0,0,0,0)', # transparent paper/background plot_bgcolor = 'rgba(0,0,0,0)', # transparent plot area scene = list( xaxis = list( showgrid = FALSE, zeroline = FALSE, showline = FALSE, showticklabels = FALSE ), yaxis = list( showgrid = FALSE, zeroline = FALSE, showline = FALSE, showticklabels = FALSE ), zaxis = list( showgrid = FALSE, zeroline = FALSE, showline = FALSE, showticklabels = FALSE ) ), showlegend = FALSE )

brownian motion 💜
Plotly of Purple lines, 50 brownian motion walks, 5000 steps out. Showing a busy center where all walks start and shows some walks diverge from the center more than others.

😲 🤯

Did you know you can add a _brand.yml to your _pkgdown.yml ?!
A screenshot of: https://frankiethull.github.io/maize/ " maize {maize} 🌽 is an extension library for kernels & support vector machines in tidymodels! The package consists of additional kernel bindings that are not available in the {parsnip} or {recipes} package. Many of the kernels are ported from {kernlab}, additional kernels have been added directly to maize transposed from Python and Julia packages. {parnsip} has three kernels available: linear, radial basis function, & polynomial. {maize} extends to further kernels, other engines, and adds steps for {recipes}: "
