Solomon Kurz (@solomonkurz.bsky.social; 82/5/23; 2026-01-28): All my #rstats ebooks are now in the quarto format, and hosted on Quarto Pub. Their old bookdown links will all be dead by the weekend.

Antoine Vernet (@antoinevernet.com; 2/2/0; 2026-01-28): I liked bookdown, but I think Quarto is basically doing most of the things that I dreamed the RMarkdown ecosystem would one day do!
I would love to read the blogpost, but the link appears broken.

Chris Chapman (@cchapman.bsky.social; 1/1/0; 2026-01-28): For my first two books, we used LaTeX via TeXShop. The most recent used RStudio plus bookdown. A new project uses Scrivener, and Quarto is another great option.

All of these paths work well, collaborate via git, and give print-ready PDFs.

FWIW, I detail much more at quantuxblog.com/how-the-quan…


Ana Vionna (@ana11-11.bsky.social; 0/0/0; 2026-01-29): I’ve always loved Bookdown, but Quarto really seems to do everything I hoped the RMarkdown ecosystem would! I wanted to check out the blog post, but the link seems broken. Does Quarto handle cross-platform publishing well? I’d love to know more about that.

Little do they know Quarto is the gateway to R, I’ll have them hooked in no time!


Dan Oehm (@danoehm.bsky.social; 38/1/6; 2026-01-22): Having some fun recreating images in ggplot with the help of magick. This was made with geom_ribbon and stitched together with magick::image_animate.

But why didn’t you do this in #rayshader?! Of course I did, but am still sorting out a few issues because rivers don’t fall neatly into categories…

  1. libary: Ha, it’s like I’m a toddler!
  2. maen: Ha, it’s like I’m Welsh!
  3. liens: Ha, it’s like I’m a banker!
  4. dplyr::fitler: 😶

After getting over the learning curve, I can say I’ll be using this now instead of rstudio. The below videos really helped in helping me get over my learning curve and why I’ll be using it

I’ve spent the last 5 years building interactive reports for clients in RMarkdown and Quarto and looking at now creating Shiny apps. Curious what people would recommend as best practice frameworks, golem, rhino, or something else?
