Lukas PM Kremer (@LPMKremer; 786/190): My first #rstats package📦 ggpointdensity is now on #CRAN 🎉. It provides a #ggplot2 geom that is a cross between a 2D density plot and a scatter plot: geom_pointdensity(). Useful to deal with overplotting without hiding outlier points. https://t.co/7hNZy3rTpy https://t.co/2AspdGU4wz ↪

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 15/0): @dataandme @andrewheiss @OleksiyAnokhin The recent releases of Hugo have bothered me a lot, too. If you prefer stability, I recommend that you remove the Homebrew version of Hugo (brew remove hugo), and install a fixed version that worked for you before: blogdown::install_hugo(version, use_brew = FALSE). ↪

Benjamin Wolfe (@BenjaminWolfe; 7/3): #rstats folks: any quick examples of your favorite #shiny dashboards? I’m making the case for a robust ecosystem of #blogdown, #pkgdown, and #shiny at work, and I have tons of examples for the first 2 but shiny isn’t my forte yet. ↪

Jamie Lingwood (@LingwoodJamie; 7/0): Thanks for sharing @veabrunsdon. Just finished creating my own website using @dsquintana’s fantastic thread on how to create your own personal website using blogdown. Easy to follow and create, even for an R novice like me 🤓

Kristen Osborne (@Kristen_Osb; 5/1): There’s an exciting #rstats user meetup in Adelaide on September 25 , which is one thing… But I’m supposed to talk about #blogdown and give my (dubious) wisdom 😄

Anyone got blogdown tips/questions/annoyances that they’d like to share? https://t.co/jrj5JDqtm0 ↪

Benjamin Wolfe (@BenjaminWolfe; 5/0): Omg this is gorgeous and super informative…

@dcossyle a question for you: I’ve been looking to make a #blogdown site with the #academic theme, but the docs say to use .Rmarkdown files instead of .Rmd.

Are there any snags when you use it with .Rmd?

It’s all Blogdown+ Hugo + Github post site deployment. Good luck ↪

Houston Haynes (@whiskersedge; 2/1): @AbelSquidHead @DonovanBrown I too am sensitive on a case by case basis. 😆

Totally jelly over your beta access! I’ve signed up and I’m waiting to streamline my #rstats #blogdown site deployment into both Azure and AWS. 👍 ↪

Nicholas R. Davis (@DemocObserver; 2/1): @DavidPoe223 My own site is in html but I’ve looked at rmarkdown/blogdown as an alternative and I think it’s pretty accessible. Rstudio makes it easy to knit good looking output. Without git I’m not sure if you’ll need a ftp client to publish, will have to look into that. ↪

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 2/0): @IsabellaGhement @r_medicine @chendaniely @ibddoctor Yes, blogdown with the Hugo academic theme! Thank you for noticing 💐 ↪

Benjamin Wolfe (@BenjaminWolfe; 2/0): @apreshill @dcossyle @georgecushen Oh, wonderful, thank you so much!

That means I can use Hugo / blogdown / academic with even less disruption to my status-quo workflow. https://t.co/wQTZvcyJol ↪

Catherine Laing (@cathelaing24; 2/0): @LingwoodJamie @veabrunsdon @dsquintana This looks great! I use Google sites but might transfer to blogdown now I’ve seen this! ↪

Wei Yang Tham (@wytham88; 1/0): @Andrew___Baker OK so you have a bunch of folders where your blogdown Project lives, like in the screenshot I attached? you wanna copy and paste the xaringan files into “static”, then push them to github https://t.co/QLbfXYqnet ↪

Wei Yang Tham (@wytham88; 1/0): @AllbriteAllday @medewittjr @Andrew___Baker What I’ve done is to host the presentation on my website. You have blogdown right? I have subfolders in “static” by pdf, html and then in this case copy everything into the html folder. ↪

Benjamin Wolfe (@BenjaminWolfe; 1/0): @pmbaumgartner: thank you for your cautionary tales at https://t.co/1PKlZwDmNI!

I’m considering creating a blog w/ Hugo, blogdown, academic theme + xaringan (saw your post on that, too!).

Does the combo still work for you?

Luke W. Johnston (@lwjohnst; 1/0): @thebyrdlab @rstats4ds Depends how your rmarkdown website is generated. Using blogdown? Bookdown? Or the original rmarkdown website set up? ↪

Vivek Das (@ivivek87; 1/0): @thebyrdlab If I understand correctly the troubleshooting then you will need to change settings in your “config.*” file for changing “global settings”. You have an updated version of that blog. My bad I put the old one earlier.

Jessica Streeter (@phillynerd; 1/0): @NayBiggs If you feeling fancy you can do it in r! blogdown and host on netlify for free. I’m sure there’s something on connecting Google analytics too. ↪

Will Wheeler (@willwheels; 1/0): @grant_mcdermott @Andrew___Baker I will, but it might be a little while. I think I’m going to be using the academic theme with blogdown (published through GH). I experimented with simpler themes, but I think I want the added functionality, at the expense of upfront work. ↪

Alex Albright (@AllbriteAllday; 1/0): @wytham88 @medewittjr @Andrew___Baker I do have blogdown! The font/styling/colors looked different when I tried to put them onto my blogdown website. Couldn’t figure out why and ended up giving up. On my to do list to explain thoroughly & ask Rstudio community at some point. ↪

Dilsher Dhillon (@TexanDhillon; 1/0): @DavidPoe223 You would barely need to use GitHub to manage it (add commit and push are pretty much the only commands you will ever have to use). https://t.co/VG2eCK1Ain this pretty much walks you through step by step. ↪

bookdown

Uryu Shinya (@u_ribo; 32/4): 出版前に内容をインターネット上で公開する書籍が海外では多い。特にR界隈はbookdownが普及していて、それが標準とも言えそう。

Dr. Ryan “Class Started” Straight (@RyanStraight; 5/2): Want to up your presentation game this year? 🐱‍👤 Xaringan by @xieyihui to the rescue. It totally changed how I present content to my students. (Ie, it’s much more interactive, fun, and reproducible now.) https://t.co/LPbzEGebVj #RStats ↪

Nathan Brouwer (@lobrowR; 4/3): any recommended task schedulers for #rstats and GitHub? I invariably forget to render my course notes to bookdown and/or push to git 😂😂 and would like to automatically run a script that does this ↪

Phil McAleer (@McAleerP; 3/1): @ceptional Might not be what you are after exactly but if you use webex package in RMarkdown you can create formative MCQs etc for students, & embed the html in Moodle. This might give the idea (https://t.co/BgD2pEbgRc - see L2 practical). Moodle is clunky, so we changed to bookdown. ↪

Tiago Ventura (@_Tiagoventura; 3/0): @maricarvalb @relances @guilhermejd1 @rationalexpec @KimJoaoUn @claudferraz @fbizzarroneto Criei um repositorio no github com um formato de e-book via bookdown. Quem estiver afim de participar, escreve ai o email do github que mando o convite. ↪

Michael Sumner (@mdsumner; 3/0): I found it, each subsequent new page in bookdown requires

rglwidget(reuse = TRUE)

I suppose because the resources for previous plots are in the previous HTML page, and not available to the current one without this ↪

Erika Roper 🦜🏘🌳 (@_erikaroper; 3/0): @JasonRoncancioM @AcademicChatter You could write it in Bookdown using RMarkdown. Or you could make a Shiny app for it. ↪

Grant McDermott (@grant_mcdermott; 2/0): @wytham88 FWIW, you need to switch from Bookdown’s default rendering approach to “Knit and Merge” (K-M) to use subdirectories. See https://t.co/0vwAwRHXHP

With that done, see here for examples: https://t.co/P3tkAfXNUT ↪

ＪＥＭＳＵ (@Jemus42; 1/0): If you’re considering to build a #bookdown book via travis, and you want LaTeX/PDF output, and you also have silly specific font preferences, prepare for a world of pain unless you know how travis/xelatex/ubuntu/fonts wokr/interact.
Nice when it finally builds though. ↪

Mara Averick (@dataandme; 1/0): @ZachFeldman3 @JennyBryan @jimhester_ The former (re. workspace) is covered in that first chapter (it’s not long — just a bookdown book that truly covers What They Forgot!) and .Renviron is covered here: https://t.co/A7XsuhYgWq

Armando (@elabuel_o; 1/0): @stabridis77 Muy interesante su pregunta y planteamientos.

Yo diría que hay herramientas para divulgar: para no estar a expensas de Nexos et al., están Github (wiki, pages), markdown, bookdown, knitr y demás (que además tienen ventajas de control de versiones y son colaborativas) ↪

Jonathan Weisberg (@jweisber; 2/0): @bweatherson Super easy! One thing I realized about .Rmd vs plain .md is it takes the pain out of tables! I just put the contents into a data.frame and call knitr’s kable() funcrtion. It draws the table for you! ↪

xaringan

Brooke P Deak (@Deakology; 15/1): In an #R meeting today, we went over a package called Xaringan. I chuckled a bit loudly, because it’s based on Sharingan dojutsu from an anime called Naruto, and I recognised the logo.

Then…just for a moment…in a room full of nerds, I was the nerdiest.

🤓👍 ↪

Grant McDermott (@grant_mcdermott; 7/0): @Andrew___Baker HTML is a much safer experience IMO. For backup:

  1. Easy to host on GitHub and render directly via GH pages or https://t.co/fVQFvh7W4I.
  2. Even if your slide engine doesn’t support PDF conversion (e.g. xaringan), it’s pretty easy to convert from HTML: https://t.co/mtdgDtiLDs ↪

Stephen Vaisey (@vaiseys; 1/0): @torkildl @grrrck This all happened in about a 2-week period. But xaringan is easier to customize than ioslides with the package I mentioned above. Totally worth a look. ↪

Sergio Oller (@zeehio_; 1/0): @TiffanyTimbers @rstatstweet @xieyihui Good point! Based on the phonetic transcription written at the top of the Xaringan readme, yes, it sounds like Sharingan 🙂. ↪

Tiffany Timbers (@TiffanyTimbers; 1/0): @zeehio_ @rstatstweet @xieyihui But do I pronounce Xaringan the same as Sharingan? ↪

Alex Albright (@AllbriteAllday; 1/0): @medewittjr @Andrew___Baker Agree that you should present from a browser to do this! I tried a xaringan presentation in May & it looked v diff when I presented from a USB on a PC. (HDMI wasn’t working. 😳) Also, FYI if you save a backup PDF, it may look different (mine had diff, suboptimal sizing/spacing). ↪
