Yeah I've had the same experience with shinylive. In fact, we've been starting to make dashboards totally outside of R because the UI and speed are just so much better for interactive stuff.

I assume it has some Javascript as well? In any case, very cool that CC did that for you!

What are you using to make the filters in the sidebar?

Case in point: Currently building this in Laravel (a PHP framework I'm only sort of familiar with).

Introducing the {pdfcheck} R package for checking the accessibility of PDFs YouTube video by R for the Rest of Us

Checking whether your PDFs are accessible is important, but the tools to do so aren't great. That's why @joseph-barbier.bsky.social and I built a new R package: {pdfcheck}. Check it out and let us know what you think!

For grouped summaries in #rstats, do you use group_by() + summarize() or the .by argument in summarize()?

If you can't, it's a huge compliment to the work done by Typst master @joseph-barbier.bsky.social.

One of these reports was made in InDesign. The other was made in Quarto + Typst. Can you tell which is which?

With our R in 3 Months program, we give out multiple scholarships. However, some recipients barely participate at all. This is frustrating because we pass over other recipients who likely would participate further. Any ideas for how we can ensure that scholarship recipients actively participate?

Just donated over $2,000 to the @nilc.org as part of our Black Friday fundraiser for @rfortherestofus.com. Thanks to everyone who bought courses!

AI note takers do many things well. Irony is not one of them.

Do I even want to know why @hadley.nz?

Oh man, wish I had a solution for that problem. In this case, we were actually just implementing the template that the client provided in Canva so there was very little back and forth.

I appreciate that!

I'm actually going to record an additional lesson showing this exact thing. Let me know if there's anything in particular you figured out that would be useful to share.

It does!

Yes, that's exactly what the blog post I'm writing is covering! Have you created a Typst template yourself?

Are you attending posit::conf this week in Atlanta! 👋

If you spot me, come say hi. I’ve got R for the Rest of Us and Clarity Data Studio swag to share.

So smooth (if you get that joke, you are an #rstats nerd).

Screenshot from Kyle Walker's book with text: Over the years I have been developing tigris, I have gotten multiple inquires akin to “why does this area look so strange when I download it?” Michigan, with its extensive shoreline along the Great Lakes, commonly comes up. The TIGER/Line shapefiles include water area for geographic features, connecting the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with the southern part of the state and giving an unfamiliar representation of Michigan’s land area. Using the cartographic boundary alternative resolves this. Let’s use patchwork to compare the TIGER/Line and cartographic boundary shapefiles for counties in Michigan as an illustration.

Of course @kylewalker.bsky.social already had a solution that I missed!
