Jörn Alexander Quent (@jaquent.bsky.social; 0/0/0; 2026-02-11): If you want to give you figures different names (fig1.svg etc.) but still want to show them in the document without always typing them out you can also use this:
```{r, echo = FALSE}
knitr::include_graphics(plot_filename)
``` ↪
Heather Turner :rstats: (@heathrturnr.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy; 0/1/0; 2026-02-09): @eliocamp going via markdown seems an unnecessary complication in this case. Have you tried using the knitr integration? https://docs.overleaf.com/integrations-and-add-ons/r-code-knitr ↪

Fabio Votta📊🐧 (@favstats.eu; 63/1/20; 2026-02-05): 🚀 dashboardr is out!
An #rstats package for building interactive dashboards with tidyverse-style syntax.
Launched with a fun hackathon at @ascor.bsky.social (🍕 included).

Mid terms are November 3rd 2026. Go register voters. (@usrbinr.bsky.social; 26/2/7; 2026-02-07): new package time! my new #rstats package {qrtdown} is sugar syntax version of {pkgdown} by @hadley.nz and {altdocs} by @etiennebacher.bsky.social but enables full quarto functionality for your articles
Thus you can use the full @quarto.org eco system and benefits.

Libby Heeren (@libbyheeren.bsky.social; 23/1/2; 2026-02-06): Ok, getting pretty excited for this. Can’t WAIT to show you how you can do (almost!) your entire GH collab workflow (issues, PRs, Reviews) directly in Positron. Isabella and I will collab in realtime and show you the whole process. We’ll even show resolving merge conflicts if we have time! #rstats ↪
terence (@tterence.bsky.social; 22/2/6; 2026-02-06): The Amazon basin. Been wanting to do this for a while and finally managed to fix the errors I was getting.
I rather like how it turned out.

Georgios Karamanis (@karaman.is; 21/0/1; 2026-02-08): This week’s #TidyTuesday was about edible plants. Not sure if this plot makes much sense, but I had fun experimenting with bitmap fonts and color gradients for the plant names and temperature ranges.

Ed Hagen (@edhagen.net; 13/0/0; 2026-02-08): Here’s a quick way using #rstats to create a copy of a data frame where all the variables have the same distributions but no relationships to other variables, useful for checking that your modeling code works while also helping you resist the temptation to tweak the model, overfitting the data: ↪
Konsta Happonen (@konsta.happonen.eu; 11/7/3; 2026-02-07): Lighting the Bayesian bat signal: #stan #rstats #statssky
A latent construct C is informed by multiple variables X like so:
X₁, X₂ ~ C
I want to use C to also predict Y,
Y ~ C
but without C being informed by Y. What’s the cleanest way to implement this in Stan? ↪
Jan Broder Engler (@jbengler.de; 11/0/2; 2026-02-06): This is how you can adjust the plot size in #tidyplots 🔥

Everything will be documented ofc, but the draft of the intro is not promising: numerous subtle mistakes that are easily missed if you don’t know the topic. ↪
