       | Great work. As someone who works on data products I am starting
       | to come to the opinion that animated charts will become
       | mainstream. If you haven't already check out Hans Rosling's work.

         | Thanks! This is our bet too. :) We built our tech from the
         | ground up with this in mind. And we're huge fans of Professor
         | Rosling's work, of course.
         | 
         | Our animated charts have proven to be quite popular for
         | storytelling: https://www.reddit.com/user/VizzuHQ/?sort=top
         | 
         | But we have big plans to build self-service tools on the same
         | core technology. We're currently raising our next round, btw.

       | I work in the small team that created Vizzu
       | (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28895897), and now we've
       | integrated our tool into Jupyter Notebooks to help data
       | scientists and analysts present the results of their work easier.
       | 
       | ipyvizzu uses our open-source Javascript/C++ library, utilizing
       | its generic dataviz engine that generates many types of charts
       | and seamlessly animates between them. It is designed for building
       | animated data stories as it enables showing different
       | perspectives of the data that the viewers can easily follow.
       | 
       | Next to creating a Python API, we added extra features for this
       | integration, like using data from a Pandas dataframe and auto-
       | scrolling to keep the chart in position while executing multiple
       | cells.
       | 
       | We would love to know what you think about it and how we should
       | improve ipyvizzu.

       | Does ipyvizzu work well with Jupyter's slideshow functionality?

         | Not yet, unfortunately, I've opened an issue in our tracker for
         | slideshow support:
