Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[Q] 'pivot_longer' applied to an object of class "character"
Such a function wouldn't add anything that factor() or as.factor() don't already do, but the forcats tidyverse package does make it easier to work with factor variables afterwards: https://forcats.tidyverse.org/

This chart has the days of the week on the x-axis, but they are all over the place, starting with Sunday and then going to Wednesday. My table has the correct sequence of days. So why is this happening to me? :\
Turn weekdays to factors to have some control over order. https://forcats.tidyverse.org/ https://r4ds.had.co.nz/factors.html#modifying-factor-order

Frustration: One Year with R
This was fun to play around with. I made some very minor changes and posted at https://gist.github.com/hadley/d54895557fbb0fe0402d2277b9011....
It revealed to me that there's a buglet in `forcats::last()` (https://github.com/tidyverse/forcats/issues/303) and made me wonder if `pivot_longer()` should be able to rename the columns as you pivot them (https://github.com/tidyverse/tidyr/issues/1338)

Relative frequency of letters in five-letter English words (Wordle aid) [OC]
I got the list of five-letter words from the words package in R, created the QWERTY keyboard grid with base R and tibble, and visualized the data with geom_tile in the ggplot2 package.

Thanks, it's an interesting idea! I definitely could implement this with scale_fill_gradientn) in ggplot2.

Fueling Innovation and Collaborative Storytelling
This might not be at the top of your list, but science fiction often presents advanced data analysis and visualization technologies. Open source data analysis tools such as Python's Pandas and R's ggplot2 have revolutionized the field, making complex data manipulation and visualization accessible to all. In the science fiction novel The Martian, astronaut Mark Watney uses a variety of data analysis and visualization tools to survive on Mars. He uses Python's Pandas to clean and organize data, and he uses R's ggplot2 to create visualizations of his data. These tools allow him to make sense of the vast amounts of data and help him to make critical decisions about his survival.

Sorry about the slow reply, but the auto-moderator seems to be deleting my comments (for some unknown reason). I will try once more: the geom_tile function in ggplot2.

Visual cues are a much better idea, thanks! Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that in ggplot2, either (I created these figures in R).
