Gestalt psychology: how we process visual information. We look at whole things, not pieces. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

1️⃣ Proximity. Users mentally group things that are close
2️⃣ Order. Things that are aligned and symmetrical are easier to process

3️⃣ Organize for your users. Every user doesn't need to see everything.

bslib does all these fancy things now!
