New version of r4ds that incorporates ggvis?

[janewall]

Any chance someone (Hadley and Garrett) are working on a new version of the r4ds book that uses ggvis instead of ggplot2? Can I get a preview version?

ggvis is dormant so I don't see any chance of this happening for some time.

See this thread:

Let's clarify the successor to ggvis

R's Shiny/web-facing answer to ggplot seemed at one point to be ggvis, but the package hasn't been developed or seriously maintained for a while now and probably deserves an official send off. It would be great to have some clarity about where the Tidyverse is heading in terms of synthesising the grammar of graphics philosophy with the DOM power of D3. There are a few competing packages out there, but it feels like there is a bit of a vision gap in this area. But I may well be a bit out of touch with latest thinking, so would be great to hear what prevailing views are.

2018 is the year of Gee... Gee Whiz...

Just kidding. I don't think it would make since to add ggvis to R4DS until more development occurs on ggvis. Even then, ggvis won't replace ggplot2. In the mean time, I have a DataCamp course on ggvis.
