New-Cleckit Dominie (@ncdominie.bsky.social; 3/2/0; 2025-07-23): What gets me: I want my notes to be accessible and I’d not even grudge the time if so much of it weren’t spent wrangling half-finished tools. (Bookdown in particular has the user-friendliness of late-90s TeX, and about a tenth the functionality.) ↪

Kyle Walker (@kylewalker.bsky.social; 26/2/6; 2025-07-18): The first commit for the #rstats {tigris} package was 10 (!) years ago, and the package is still going strong.
tigris gets geographic data from the US Census Bureau into R for you – often in a single line of code.
As tigris turns 10, let’s review what it can do: ↪
Kyle Walker (@kylewalker.bsky.social; 20/0/2; 2025-07-19): In the latest version of the #rstats {mapgl} package you can export features from the draw control as GeoJSON.
The video shows how you can edit features, export your edits, then open up in QGIS!

Michael Friendly (@datavisfriendly.bsky.social; 12/1/2; 2025-07-20): I’m always interested in the thinking / process that led to a general approach to data analysis and graphics.
- What were the initial ideas that led to tidy thinking?
- Pipes were well known outside of #Rstats; how did magrittr play into this?
- What lessons were learned from {plyr} 📦? ↪
