New blog post! I helped build Idaho’s official election results website (with #rstats and #quartopub) and we did some neat stuff to auto-generate hundreds of R chunks. Here’s a guide about how to create tabsets and slides programmatically with inline knitr chunks www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/11…

At the time, Elon had announced blocking rules on X were being changed. I was surprised there wasn’t an rstats starter pack here yet, so voila!

Brendan O’Kane (@bokane.org; 2/1/0; 2023-12-26): It looks like Hugo / blogdown will do most of what I want on the publishing side of things (and do it better than Substack), but so far as the rest of it goes, I’ve just been telling myself that I wasn’t making any money off the newsletter anyway. But I’ll miss the money I wasn’t making. ↪

Peter Licari (@peterlicari.bsky.social; 2/0/0; 2023-10-17): The curve can be a bit less steep if, instead of Jekyll, you go with a blogdown or Quarto site hosted on Gitlab. I use Quarto for my blog personally and would recommend! (Especially for the integration aspect, as you noted). ↪

Thea (@theaknowles.bsky.social; 1/1/0; 2024-04-03): I sort of succeeded but also I mostly hacked it because SquareSpace is weird (but more more user friendly for student RAs than blogdown, hence the shift to squarespace). ↪

evpok, vvood vvitch (@evpok.love; 1/1/0; 2023-11-15): It would certainly be nice to have tools for good science blogging that are lighter than blogdown or quarto ↪

Gordon Shotwell (@shotwell.ca; 0/1/0; 2024-11-13): They’re not really comparable projects because quarto has way more users and does way more stuff (flexdashboard, shinylive, bookdown, pagedown, blogdown, pkgdown) and that’s before you get to the immense complexity of Jupyter. ↪

weird guy who jump ropes (@tjmahr.com; 0/2/0; 2023-07-06): getting an itch to convert my blog from Jekyll to blogdown/Hugo ever since the developer of my Jekyll theme wrote a blogpost singing the praises of Hugo. but yet, the old jekyll blog has been going strong for 8 years. but then again, I really want downlit links ↪

Brendan O’Kane (@bokane.org; 1/1/0; 2024-10-16): I do most things in Markdown already! Hugo/bookdown was nice to work with — I just couldn’t figure out a good way of using it for email subscriptions/delivery, or I’d be using it for the newsletter already ↪

Brian Weatherson (@bweatherson.bsky.social; 1/1/0; 2024-09-06): Not really. I mostly just used the regular guide at quarto.org/docs/guide/, and lots of trial and error.

I had previously used bookdown, and I read the guide to it pretty closely (bookdown.org/yihui/bookdo…). So for me it was largely about learning what had changed from bookdown -> quarto. ↪

Steve Haroz (@steveharoz.com; 1/0/0; 2024-03-23): Bookdown is pretty hacky, so rethinking that use case seems helpful. ↪

Sasha Gusev (@sashagusevposts.bsky.social; 1/2/0; 2024-01-26): ha, it’s embarrassing: just google docs and exported to html. I’ve been meaning to set up some bookdown/tex thing but haven’t gotten around to it. ↪

Brendan O’Kane (@bokane.org; 1/1/0; 2024-01-12): I’ve been switching things over to Hugo/bookdown, but if there’s a sane and affordable way of turning that into an e-mail newsletter, I haven’t been able to find it. I’m not even trying to pay-gate content! I just want footnotes! ↪

Felix Lennert (@felixlennert.bsky.social; 1/2/0; 2024-01-08): I honestly have no idea. I set visibility to “everyone”, that’s as accessible as I can make it without hosting my own website AFAIK. However, I just use my google account for using bookdown which is probably as frictionless as it gets :-) ↪

Andy (@djcentos7.bsky.social; 1/1/0; 2024-01-06): RStudio / Posit laid off the creator of knitr, bookdown, and DT a couple weeks before Christmas. They’ve now had multiple rounds of layoffs and as PBC, it’s unclear to me that anyone would want to acquire it especially given their business model. ↪

Jamie Reilly 🦜 (@jamiereillycog.bsky.social; 1/0/0; 2024-01-05): Don Draper era. I’m going to self publish volume 2 of this book in Bookdown today with one more random number than the original — rnorm(1000001). Courier font so it looks like a typewriter ↪

Brendan O’Kane (@bokane.org; 1/1/0; 2024-01-02): Some parts of it are extremely TBD – the mailing and subscription parts, in particular.
At the moment I’m doing the pages in Hugo/bookdown with a tweaked version of the tufte-notes template; this seems to be the least-bad way of causing text to appear on a screen here in anno domini 2024. ↪

Adam Austin (@ataustin.bsky.social; 1/1/0; 2023-09-26): Love this for documenting within a data team. One concern for a broader company solution though is discoverability (can I find the docs if I don’t have a specific link), searchability (can I find what I need within the docs once I’m there), and ease of quick edits. bookdown might not clear the bar ↪

I was thinking the other way around. Your Rmd (including a vignette) can use YAML chunk options. This is supported by knitr directly, not just inside quarto. I prefer to clarify just in case.

So only the YAML header output format would differ. ↪

Getting everything up and running was a breeze except for Docker. Not as bad as dealing with TinyTex issues, but close. ↪

Jon B. (@jon-b.bsky.social; 1/1/0; 2024-06-18): I was not prepared to solve problems with TinyTeX/Tex Live. It was a painful experience, but somehow I made it out alive. I now understand why there’s a “Hall of Pain” section of the website: yihui.org/tinytex/pain/ #rstats ↪

John Paul Helveston (@jhelvy.bsky.social; 6/1/1; 2024-11-01): For all you fans of #quarto and #xaringan slides, you might like our {renderthis} 📦. Render your #rmarkdown / quarto docs to different formats: HTML, PDF, PNG, GIF, PPTX, and MP4

Check out the docs here: https://jhelvy.github.io/renderthis/ ↪

Jae Yeon Kim (@jaeyeonkim.bsky.social; 3/2/1; 2024-01-22): If you are an R user, what’s the best presentation tool? Still xaringan? Most of my projects are in R. This year I have a couple of upcoming presentations. I want to spend as little time as possible, but also want to make the slides look great and clean. ↪

Stas Kolenikov (@statstas.bsky.social; 2/0/0; 2024-11-13): Oh those sweet newcomers. We are drifting away from xaringan towards revealjs n quarto on #2 as you are still stuck with blue-on-white beamer, huh ↪

Julian Reif (@julianreif.bsky.social; 2/0/0; 2024-01-31): I’ve been using Xaringan for my (R-based) teaching. Definitey not perfect, although Laurent’s theme looks nicer than the one I used–I might switch to that for next time! ↪

Grant McDermott (@gmcd.bsky.social; 2/1/0; 2024-01-31): The big advantage of Quarto over xaringan is much better integration with other doc types through standard pandoc markdown. So you can easily switch between formats and doc types. (E.g. Like Laurent, I’ve really been digging typst lately and Quarto supports that.) ↪

Laurent Bergé (@lrberge.bsky.social; 2/1/0; 2024-01-22): FWIW: here’s a xaringan theme I created some time ago.

Some bits of it might be useful.

Personally, now I’m shifting towards typst.

magdalena bennett (@maibennett.com; 2/2/0; 2024-01-22): I always look into this, and I still haven’t found something better than xaringan (especially because I already did all the legwork of customizing css, etc.). Happy to see what people respond, though! ↪

Daniel Bastoli (@dbastoli.bsky.social; 1/1/0; 2024-10-16): Subaca na xaringan me lembra da primeira vez que uma mulher se masturbou na minha canela durante um boquetão. A vulva é realmente um órgão sexualmente muito mais versátil que o pal. ↪

ASN Grads (@asngrads.bsky.social; 1/0/0; 2024-09-19): Ep15: The xaringan📦 is an Rmarkdown extension based on the JavaScript library remark.js to generate professional presentations.

magdalena bennett (@maibennett.com; 1/1/0; 2024-01-22): It’s a mess (basically because I haven’t cleaned the code since I started learning xaringan 😂), but everything is on slides.magdalenabennett.com ↪

ASN Grads (@asngrads.bsky.social; 0/0/1; 2024-10-01): Ep18: Some might not feel comfortable w/ the #html5 files generated w/ Xaringan. In fact, most conferences ask to submit our presentations as #pdf files. W/ @rmarkdown, you can create fancy Beamer presentations and render them as pdf’s @asn-amnat.bsky.social 🔬🐌

ASN Grads (@asngrads.bsky.social; 0/0/0; 2024-09-24): Ep16: The “presenter mode” is a feature that enables one to see the presentation notes & other information while the audience sees just the slides. W/ xaringan, you can clone the slides & toggle the presenter mode easily, as shown below 🔬🐌

Andrew Heiss 🍁🍂 (@andrew.heiss.phd; 0/1/0; 2023-12-01): The only Rmd files I still maintain are my older course slides bc I made them with xaringan and don’t want to translate them and their template to reveal.js, but I make any newer slides in Quarto ↪

ᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ’ꜱ (@drmowinckels.io; 0/0/0; 2021-04-14): I love #xaringan for presentations so much. Especially when I can add some latex math and make it look like I’m cool and know wth I’m talking about ↪

ᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ’ꜱ (@drmowinckels.io; 0/0/0; 2020-12-20): There is great online documentation on {xaringanExtra}
and it really spruces up your xaringan #Rstats slides!

https://pkg.garrickadenbuie.com/xaringanExtra/#/ ↪

ᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ’ꜱ (@drmowinckels.io; 0/1/0; 2020-12-20): Dec. 20th - {xaringanExtra} #Rstats 📦

I’ve already mentioned {xaringan} on Dec. 5th, and this package makes that even more awesome! A really cool package that adds great additional features to xaringan slides!

https://github.com/gadenbuie/xaringanExtra ↪

ᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ’ꜱ (@drmowinckels.io; 0/0/0; 2020-12-05): All this makes {xaringan} an amazing tool for teaching and keeping up-to-date with the materials you teach before you teach them! :) ↪

ᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ’ꜱ (@drmowinckels.io; 0/1/0; 2020-12-05): {xaringan} #Rstats 📦 is particularly useful if you use it to teach coding, as you can have code and the literal code output side-by-side. Since it’s Rmd, it is also almost completely self-contained, and re-knitting will expose any possible functionality change in packages. ↪

ᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ’ꜱ (@drmowinckels.io; 0/1/0; 2020-12-05): I now almost exclusively make my slides through {xaringan} in #Rstats making it even easier for me to put all my content online for other to peruse at their leisure. ↪

ᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ’ꜱ (@drmowinckels.io; 0/1/0; 2020-12-05): In addition to documentation by {xaringan} creator @xieyihui , which is excellent, @apreshill has some awesome slides uncovering even more amazing things you can do with {xaringan} through #RStats
https://arm.rbind.io/slides/xaringan.html#1 ↪

ᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ’ꜱ (@drmowinckels.io; 0/1/0; 2020-12-05): After trying other options like beamer and io slides in #Rstats, testing xaringan for the first time was like magic. Learning to use it was so fast, and through knowing a little css I could tweak and create almost any slide configuration I could think of. ↪

ᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ’ꜱ (@drmowinckels.io; 0/1/0; 2020-12-05): Dec. 5th - xaringan #Rstats 📦

Become a presentation Ninja creating html slides using Rmarkdown.

Xaringan is by far the easiest Rmd to slides creator in #Rstats.
