Highlights
This is the first recreation of 2025. Since January 1st is a day of rest, I chose a beeswarm plot because I'm used to visualizing it. The most complicated thing was replicating the data and, again, creating arrows with SVG.
- I know there are easier ways to create objects with SVG, there are generators and resources I could use to make it easier, but in this learning process, I like to have obstacles. I still don't quite understand how to make certain curves, but I'm getting better at it.
