Acknowledgements

Thank you Mike Bostock. Making the D3.js library more accessible was my strongest motivation for developing Clickme.

Thank you Yihui Xie. The knitr R package has shown me the importance of building bridges across technologies, while also turning my scientific ramblings into reproducible work.

Thank you Hadley Wickam. The testthat R package is a big reason why I find coding Clickme so enjoyable.
