Juanjo Medina (@jjmedina.bsky.social; 0/0/0; 2025-09-06): I’ve updated my web. I started a few years ago with github+blogdown+Hugo+netlify. It looked gr8 but changes to Hugo were a pain. Every time I wanted to change have 2 relearn all. So I’ve gone 4 more minimal but hopeful sustainable approach using GitHub+quarto+netlify. Link here: juanjomedina.com ↪

I’ve done it from blogdown, but I also retracted at the last moment, because you cannot have custom slugs in quarto blogs -

The paper compares the benefits of using a code-based approach to survey design, leveraging #quarto and #shiny

I wondered if the maximum time that a song spent as a Number One Hit had changed over time. What is interesting is that different models tell different stories, with the GAM (blue) and LM (red) mostly agreeing, but the loess (green) being pulled down in the middle.
