What it is

Animated Bar Race transitions a ranked bar chart smoothly across time: top categories climb, fall, and overtake each other with watermark labels for context. Built for screen-recording, demos, and that one slide everyone remembers.

What it does

Smoothly interpolated horizontal bars per time step, with auto-ranking, watermark time labels, customizable color, and play/pause controls.

Why use it

Static rankings are forgettable. A race is memorable, and it’s the only way to *feel* a category overtake another.
