I built an R package that turns Shiny apps into UIs that render directly inside Claude Desktop or ChatGPT.

It's called shinymcp. Drop-downs, plots, tables all inline in the chat.

I just led a workshop on Quarto with @physaliacourses.bsky.social which I’ve now made public. I’m sharing the full source code to demonstrate advanced features: extensions, brand.yml styling across formats, and full CI/CD via GitHub Actions. github.com/mcanouil/mas...

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited!

- `filter_out()` for dropping rows

- `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools

These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats!

dplyr 1.2.0
dplyr 1.2.0 fills in some important gaps in dplyr's API: we've added a new complement to `filter()` focused on dropping rows, and we've expanded the `case_when()` family with three new recoding and re...

What Quarto extension would make your workflow easier?

There are already almost 300 extensions browsable at m.canouil.dev/quarto-exten... and installable via Quarto Wizard at m.canouil.dev/quarto-wizard/.

Drop your ideas below.
If there's enough interest, I might just build it.
#Quarto #OpenSource
What's Missing? 300 extensions and counting. Help shape what comes next.

webRios is live. #rstats on your iPhone and iPad.

I showed native R compilation on #iOS last week. Shipping it is another story (thanks, GPL). This version uses #webR 's #WebAssembly build instead. Different tradeoffs, but this one clears App Review.

apps.apple.com/us/app/webri...
Promotional image for webRios showing the app icon and an iPhone displaying the R console. The console shows example R commands with syntax highlighting: basic arithmetic (1 + 1), a print statement saying 'Hello from iOS!', a warning message in orange reading 'Uh-oh, I'm in the Apple-verse?', an error message in red with the HAL 9000 quote 'I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.', and a plot command.

I had the most frustrating experience talking to Abercrombie's AI customer service.

It was SO hilariously bad that I decided it deserved its own rant!

Oooh love this. Easiest way to parallelise anything in #rstats. Just add futurize() to your favourite function call

The latest release of #Positron has a TOTAL REVAMP of the integration to GitHub Copilot, which solves a ton of auth problems!

In this screencast, I walk through how to set up Positron Assistant 🤖 to use GitHub Copilot as a model provider:

#rstats I've given a workshop a few days ago on handling large data (think tens to hundreds of millions of rows) with Polars in Python and in R.

Here are my introductory slides: brussels-large-data-r-python.etiennebacher.com

Want to get the data out of a PDF figure? As in, the actual data – not a rough trace-along-the-lines version?

I made an app you might like: adamkucharski.github.io/pdf2plot/

Since I started developing the mapgl R package I've envisioned built-in interactive legends.

They're finally here in the upcoming package release: a filter slider for continuous legends, and click-to-filter for categorical legends.

Blog post coming this week!
