The problem with #rstats is portability. Shit like df$x has to be converted to df€x in Europe and df£x in the UK but nobody talks about this.

Marium Tapal (@mariumtapal.com; 4/1/1; 2025-03-19): Not Quatro, but blogdown: mariumtapal.com

Was inspired by/used @apreshill.com‘s theme!

Also, a very WIP website for my baking in a mix of Quarto and R Markdown: mariumtapal.github.io/marium-bakes


Ben Harrap (@bharrap.bsky.social; 3/2/0; 2025-03-20): I like my website! benharrap.com

I had some fun converting my old hugo/blogdown site to a Quarto website/blog and tinkering with the default Quarto settings


Daniel 🕹️ (@strengejacke.bsky.social; 2/0/1; 2025-03-19): From our easystats member:
realitybending.github.io
dominiquemakowski.github.io

I think it’s built with blogdown, but should be comparable to quarto?

I guess you find more examples if you look after GitHub websites…


Joe Chou (@incidentalfindings.org; 2/0/0; 2025-03-18): That sounds like a great blog post.

Going all the way back to {blogdown}, instructional blogs handheld me through the mysteries of Hugo and Netlify.

David Hodge (@davidhodge931.bsky.social; 12/1/1; 2025-03-20): To add saved #ggplot2 images unscaled into quarto, a way that works for me is to use knitr::include_graphics. The key here is to ensure the dpi is the same as the image. ggsave uses 300 by default. claude.ai helped me sovle this #rstats


Grumpy Old Health Stats Dude (@healthstatsdude.bsky.social; 3/1/0; 2025-03-20): i think you have to use knitr::include_graphics(“image.png”) inside a chunk, but not totally sure

Juan Galeano (@juangaleano.bsky.social; 63/6/9; 2025-03-15): I was recently asked to create an Atlas of population diversity for major Spanish municipalities at the census tract level. Who else thinks bivariate maps + scatter plots are a powerhouse combo? Open to suggestions.
