Another ggplot2 extension with a similar motivating ethos:

[BajczA475]

...that ethos being "The stuff I wanted to easily do in ggplot2 but couldn't."

I'm sharing this in the hopes of finding a collaborator/contributor/bug finder familiar enough with ggplot2's inner workings to help me get my package into a more production-ready state.

The TL:DR is that I recently did a deep dive in "graph design best practices" and wanted to carry forward what I learned into ggplot2, which proved to be much harder than I was expecting, so I started trying to assemble tools that would do the heavy lifting for me. Those tools are now amassed in a nascent package I'm calling ggplot.plus: https://github.com/MAISRC/ggplot_plus.

A walking tour of what the package can currently do/my vision for the package can be skimmed here: https://maisrc.github.io/ggplot_plus/

I'm not a programmer by training, and this is my first attempt at developing an R package, so I think my code is bug-ridden, hacky, and fragile in all kinds of ways that I think only a ggplot2 pro might be able to help sort out. But I'd take any/all help I can get!

My medium-term goal would be to publish on this work, so future co-authorship is a possibility, if that entices anyone!

Hi Alex,

Thanks for thinking about me when considering collaborators/contributors/bug finders.
I think you might cast a slightly wider net if you repost your message in the discussions of the extension club (https://github.com/ggplot2-extenders/ggplot-extension-club/discussions).
It'd also help if you distill the parts you want feedback on, but it is also fine if you'd like feedback in general.
These pages are just the discussions for ggh4x, and while we could discuss the relationship between ggplot.plus and ggh4x; that doesn't seem to be the thrust of your message.

Cheers,
Teun

Thank you for the lead Tuen! I am struggling a bit with trying to figure out where my "audience" for this might be...Feel free to close here if you feel it misses the mark.

Well over at the extenders everybody is interested and has some experience with ggplot2 extensions. I may have time to look it in a few weeks.
