Great for iterating over many similar tables, otherwise ehhh
Who needs PowerPoint when you have Quarto and @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social's extensions?!
I wanted to make an image-heavy presentation. Usually, I'd reach for Keynote.
But Emil shared quarto-revealjs-editable, which let me stay in Quarto land 🥰 Thanks, Emil!

Interactive resources With the power of OJS and Quarto, I’ve created a few interactive websites to illustrate trickier statistical concepts when teaching. Check them out (and adapt and copy as much as you want!) With links to three different websites (accessible at the main link in the post)
Finally got around to adding fancy links to my different interactive teaching websites for showing things like p-hacking, p-value interpretations, and (still-in-draft-form) DAGs at www.andrewheiss.com/teaching/ #rstats #QuartoPub #statsky
RStudio now has next edit suggestions! I wrote a bit about how they work and have open-sourced the eval we used to engineer the system's prompt: www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2026-03...

A truly original way of visualizing population data. Population median lines for European countries show where the population is cut in half along a North-South axis. Love the use of one continuous line. Great piece!!! Source: buff.ly/U5W7TUm

#rstats Here's a useful guide to creating publication-ready #ggplot figures to journal specifications, which is often quite fiddly.

Have you seen our Olympic medal count visualization?
BTW: To generate the Olympic medal scarfs, we render it on HTML canvas. A powerful drawing technology, but inherently non-interactive. We wanted the medals to be clickable. So: How do you render an interactive canvas?

Screenshot of site some really cool data visualisations, arranged in a grid.
When running #DataViz workshops, one question that often gets asked is "what's your favourite ever chart?" 📊
So I've started compiling some of the awesome visualisations made by other people that I often share!

Zenn recently auto-generated an English version of my Rtistry article using AI.
It's machine-translated, but readable enough.
