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 ↪

shinyelectron::export() → #rshinylive → installer → app.exe
[Worth the Parallels license to record this from my Mac]
Still no #rstats dependencies for end users. Living the cross-platform life (virtually). ↪

Aaron Jacobs (@atheriel.bsky.social; 22/0/4; 2025-09-05): There’s been a big push at Posit this summer to get high-quality OpenTelemetry support out to the #rstats community (a longstanding dream of mine).
I think {mirai} is the first package release to showcase this work, and as per usual with @shikokuchuo.net, it was done in record time! ↪
