Ilya Kashnitsky (@ikashnitsky.phd; 2/1/0; 2025-09-27): Somehow I learned about this list only now. Cool project. Yet I think the awesome lists may have a better outreach/circulation as GitHub repos

I moved to #quarto some time ago, which is extremely similar to blogdown, and it covers all my needs perfectly


Alberto Acerbi (@acerbialberto.com; 1/0/0; 2025-09-30): Updated website with the new Hugo Blox, deploying directly in GitHub, without all the “old” R + blogdown infrastructure. Still need to migrate most of the content, but I did everything in a couple of hours!

Solomon Kurz (@solomonkurz.bsky.social; 2/0/0; 2025-09-23): I only learned it to use blogdown and bookdown, and even then I only use it within a GitHub-oriented workflow

Ted Laderas (@tladeras.bsky.social; 49/8/0; 2025-09-27): Positron running on a small Raspberry Pi CM5 computer (Hackberry pi). Why am I compelled to do things like this? #rstats #python #quartopub


Libby Heeren (@libbyheeren.bsky.social; 49/6/1; 2025-09-27): Not to be completely ridiculous, but I’m now envisioning a Data Confessionals Conf.

After each talk, in which the presenter confesses their most egregious, hilarious, and relatable data sins, I’ll put up a poll where attendees can vote on whether they’ve done the same 😂

Collin Berke (@collinberke.bsky.social; 47/3/11; 2025-09-28): I got introduced to @randyau.com’s ‘Data Cleaning IS Analysis, Not Grunt Work’ post during the #dataBS Conf this week: www.counting-stuff.com/data-cleanin… . I just finished–it was a great read.

Here are some quotes and thoughts I’m walking away with 👇

Gabby Palomo, PhD (@gabspalomo.bsky.social; 28/3/3; 2025-09-26): Thanks @cghlewis.bsky.social for the #rstats tip !! The rainbow indentation looks sooooo cool 🤩


Grant McDermott (@gmcd.bsky.social; 26/1/5; 2025-09-28): Clearly not the most important news coming out of Oregon tonight, but I just added a recession bars example to the tinyplot “Tips & tricks” vignette. grantmcdermott.com/tinyplot/vig… #rstats


Michael Friendly (@datavisfriendly.bsky.social; 26/4/2; 2025-09-26): #rstats #meme
Sometimes, all I want is a histogram….


Thomas Lin Pedersen (@thomasp85.com; 24/0/1; 2025-09-27): New art/acustic installation at home. Made with #rstats


R-Podcast (Eric) (@rpodcast.bsky.social; 21/1/0; 2025-09-26): A day after my #positconf2025 presentation, I’m delighted to share that my new package {shinystate} has arrived on CRAN!

Learn how {shinystate} supercharges bookmarkable state and more in this blog post: shinydevseries.com/blog/2025-09…

(Even Dr. Light & Dr. Wily like it too 🤖 )

Jeroen Ooms (@jeroenooms.bsky.social; 19/1/2; 2025-09-27): Super excited for the new release of #rstats V8 which now also works in WebR by running js/wasm natively in web worker (thanks to @gws.phd). Will release some cool new packages soon to show the potential of WASM in R ✨


Jan Broder Engler (@jbengler.de; 14/0/2; 2025-09-28): Here are some #tidyplots use cases for data journalism 🔥

Dr. Jean Fan (@jef.works; 11/0/2; 2025-09-27): In this blog post, I use #RStats to explore publicly available ICE arrest data. #Dataviz shows recent trend where ICE are primarily targeting/locating people without criminal records in communities.

Code along and take a look for yourself: jef.works/blog/2025/09… #CodeTutorial

Ken Koon Wong (@kenkoonwong.bsky.social; 8/0/0; 2025-09-27): Learned RNA-seq workflow using C. diff data from a study 🧬. Processed raw reads thru fastp → kallisto → DESeq2 pipeline. Results matched the original paper’s findings, with clear differential expression between mucus and control conditions 📊.

Mid terms are November 3rd 2026. Go register voters. (@randvegan.bsky.social; 8/2/0; 2025-09-26): Documentation friday! – focusing on {pkgdown}, {testthat} and of course @quarto.org to hopefully push out my #rstats packages this weekend


Brian O’Meara (@omearabrian.bsky.social; 6/0/0; 2025-09-27): People who like it may also like the Datasaurus #rstats package. Good blog post on animating it:
