You might have seen this Bar Chart Race, where a comparission is made for some data.
Usually some brands how they compete trough the years, like the number of phones sold by company, cars sells, etc.
Since I'm playing with charts and stats I decided it will be cool to try this out :)
Obviously there are more ways how to do it once you have the data.
One of the simple ways is to use the Flourish app, that has some other fancy chart tools but race bar chart as well.

Off course Python has packages as well :).
What you need for this is a timeline of data for different categories, that you will later compare in the Bar Chart Race.
To test it out I have used the data for Hive Engine tokens trading volume, that I posted few days ago. It is a suitable set of data for this.
Here is the not very good quality vid :)
It represents the daily volume of each of the tokens on Hive Engine starting from May 17th till June 17th.
A link from the app for better quality:

Not the best animation but still, for starters :)
Using the the Flourish app is quite easy and simple, just choose the template and upload your data.
This is the data format the app wants, timeline on the top as rows, that is a bit non standard, because that usually goes as a column.
What I don't like much is that I cant embed the video directly here, and I have to go trough screen recorders, YouTube etc.
It has an embed option, but looks like not suitable for Hive.Blog
<div class="flourish-embed flourish-bar-chart-race" data-src="visualisation/2938188" data-url="https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/2938188/embed"><script src="https://public.flourish.studio/resources/embed.js"></script></div>
If someone can tell hot to make the above work here it will be very much appreciated.
Anyways this type of Bar Chart Race can be interesting for comparing different assets in time.
Making one on the top 10 coins would be interesting :)
For Hive internal use it can be useful for comparing some of the top players performance?
Any other ideas?
All the best
