Zhi Yang | DM me abt @USCBiostat & DS interviews (@zhiiiyang; 10814): @daniela_witten Thank you for emphasizing the importance of an academic website! > You can build a website under 20-min using #blogdown and the #hugoAcademic template by @georgecushen. I highly recommend @apreshill’s #rstudioconf2019 workshop https://t.co/aBRiC2Bjxk and https://t.co/HdMOEmT34K

Jason Mercer (@ecojydrology; 345): New website! https://t.co/9gZUtkgkff. Uses @GoHugoIO with #blogdown (#rstats) served from @gitlab and a custom domain from @awscloud. Huge thanks to @xieyihui @ProQuesAsker @apreshill for blogdown devel and docs. And thanks to @noamross for hosting his rorcid code. #hydrology

Kaylea (@KayleaHaynes; 2611): I’ve decided to start a data science blog. First challenge was learning how to deploy a website using R, Blogdown and Netlify. Now that I’ve worked it out I might try and post some interesting content in the future. For now check out https://t.co/HgVKyVCinM for some intros.

Los Angeles R Users (@la_Rusers; 144): 🤩Our new organizer @kerenxuepi just gave her very first #rstats meetup talk at #RLadies Pasadena @CaltechLibrary where she showed us how to build and deploy personal websites using #blogdown and @Netlify.

Ben Marwick (@benmarwick; 104): @daniela_witten There is a wonderful & very user-friendly guide to quickly making a free professional-looking personal website entirely with #rstats by @dsquintana: https://t.co/0GjvgKrpbS For more details see the blogdown book by @xieyihui @ProQuesAsker & @apreshill https://t.co/tgHEzYi6Pc

Dr. Jennifer Beaudry (@drjbeaudry; 40): Should I use this as the kick in the pants I need to create a web-based CV through blogdown in R? If so, is @dsquintana’s tutorial still the best resource to walk us through the process?

Jiri Stodulka (@jiristo; 32): Dear #rstats community. Those who use #blogdown and #Hugo, the static website generator: how do I set my web page’s (post) canonical URL to point out to where is the original post? E.g. on #TDataScience

Zhi Yang | DM me abt @USCBiostat & DS interviews (@zhiiiyang; 31): @la_Rusers @kerenxuepi @CaltechLibrary @Netlify That was a great talk last night! I’ve been using #blogdown for a year but still learned a few new #rstats things from @kerenxuepi like adding @googleanalytics, @disqus, enabling Emojis and inserting shortcode for tweets. Thank you! https://t.co/ZYIhBhUrNs

Sheila Saia (@sheilasaia; 30): @ecojydrology @GoHugoIO @gitlab @awscloud @xieyihui @ProQuesAsker @apreshill @noamross Looks 👌💯! Hip hip for blogdown!

OC RUG (@oc_rug; 30): @la_Rusers @kerenxuepi @CaltechLibrary @Netlify @zhiiiyang Well done! @kerenxuepi. We’d like to have you come down to Irvine and share your insights with us. For those people who are also interested, don’t forget our upcoming 90-min FREE workshop on #blogdown and @Netlify by our new organizer @pablobarajasp at the venue @UCIrvine_MBA.

Stephen Turner (@strnr; 21): @webbedfeet @JennyBryan @drob @swcarpentry Please do! I believe everything I borrowed from was CC-by-???. I used RMarkdown websites https://t.co/6ke7zsgw5o. Nice feature in RStudio - build site button. Deploy static _site directory to netlify with a custom domain. @vpnagraj improved this later with hugo/blogdown.

Benjamin Wolfe (@BenjaminWolfe; 10): @JonTheGeek At a very basic level, this is one reason it’s important that companies—looking at applications outside academia—have a central repository for analysts, data scientists, + researchers to share findings: Confluence, preferably #blogdown, whatever. > They can all cite one another.

Nicolas Roelandt (@RoelandtN42; 10): @archaeogeek, I liked your post and had encountered this situation several times.

Andrew Heiss, PhD (@andrewheiss; 81): I swear I’ve seen this done before, but can’t find any documentation for it now. Is there a way to make it so all tibbles are printed with kable() when knitting? Like some option or something? #rstats #knitr

Jenny Bryan (@JennyBryan; 60): @BrodieGaslam thanks! that is a cool feature in knitr that’s very rewarding to exploit in reprex

Brenton Wiernik 🏳️‍🌈 (@bmwiernik; 60): @wgervais If it’s a pretty simple table, knitr::kable() is fine. If you need more complex formatting control, the flextable package.

JD Long (@CMastication; 735): I’m teaching an intro to #rstats and #Tidyverse at a client site next week. Seems like the appropriate time to try out {Xaringan}. Going through the docs I realize that I may just have to turn on yolo mode. Open source software totally brings the lols. https://t.co/23lkfc7GSN

JD Long (@CMastication; 372): well @grrrck saved me some pain. I was wanting to highlight one line of code in a pipe chain. using {{}} wasn’t working but he wrote a blog article that solved it for me! https://t.co/FiQSBENjAO > Then I used his #<< magic to do this: https://t.co/xMjyHTPAOa

JD Long (@CMastication; 60): so @Emil_Hvitfeldt pointed out that this is specific to {Xaringan} so it probably has something to do with the css libraries at play. Could be useful if your presentation needs to be mirrored for rear projection or some such.

Miles McBain (@MilesMcBain; 50): @metasdl @lingtax You can knit an Rmd directly to slides ioslides_presentation() works better than {xaringan} for interactive stuff. I use for interactive maps and plots with {mapdeck} and {plotly}

Marck Vaisman (@wahalulu; 42): .@webbedfeet my longtime #rstats meetup partner in crime showing us how to build teaching materials with rmarkdown, xaringan, and even reticulate. I am going to steal this for my classes. #rstatsdc #datadc https://t.co/cNHDdB74Be

Lauren Saag Peetluk (@laurenspeetluk; 33): Trying to decide whether 1 mo is long enough to learn and create a presentation in Rmarkdown (for dissertation proposal)? And if so, which to use: ioslides, slidy, beamer, xaringan? Any tips, pros/cons, resources are greatly appreciated! #epitwitter #rstats

Gina Reynolds (@EvaMaeRey; 30): @othomn Yay! Thanks @othomn! Big thanks due to Emi Tanaka @statsgen and Garrick Aden Buiu @grrrck. Grateful for #xaringan amazingness & for sequential, incremental tools that makes automating deconstruction and reconstruction make sense! #ggplot2 #magrittr

Jonelle D. Villar (@jdvillar; 20): @apreshill Thank you for your incredible presentation using Xaringan and CSS. I am happy with my first attempts. 😍How do I know the screen resolution when giving a scientific talk?

Andrew Heiss, PhD (@andrewheiss; 20): @edrubin @causalinf Your course materials are srsly the best I’ve come across for intro econometrics, and I might embrace your xaringan-for-problem-sets approach instead of constantly fighting with latex

Malcolm ‘🦃 of Courage’ Barrett (@malco_barrett; 20): @ustcer_ztc @zhiiiyang I’ve been following that! I think it’s a very sensible solution. I haven’t PR’d this one, despite using it for a long time, because I’m still making tweaks and didn’t want to have to keep it in sync with a hard coded version in xaringan. But it’s nice to make it available

adrift-like-flotsam (@researchremora; 10): @CMastication I’m sure you’ll teach it the right way. 😉 More on topic: I’ve never tried xaringan; am still using slidify, which is deprecated, but familiarity leads to inertia.
