+This is a [Flowmap.blue](https://www.flowmap.blue/) widget for R. Create
+interactive flow maps using
+[`FlowmapBlue`](https://github.com/FlowmapBlue/FlowmapBlue) TypeScript
+library, which is a free tool for representing aggregated numbers of
+movements between geographic locations as flow maps. It is used to
+visualize urban mobility, commuting behavior, bus, subway and air
+travels, bicycle sharing, human and bird migration, refugee flows,
+freight transportation, trade, supply chains, scientific collaboration,
+epidemiological and historical data and many other topics. The package
+allows to either create standalone flow maps in form of ‘htmlwidgets’
+and save them in ‘HTML’ files, or integrate flow maps into ‘Shiny’
+applications.
+
+You might also consider using this pure R flowmapping library based on
+`ggplot2`: https://github.com/JohMast/flowmapper
