Solomon Kurz (@solomonkurz.bsky.social; 6/1/0; 2026-02-17): Same for blogdown. My website is still baed on blogdown. But if I were to rebuild it, or if I was looking to make a new website, I’d just use quarto. It’s easier ↪

Max kuhn (@topepo.bsky.social; 61/1/10; 2026-02-16): With bookdown.org being decommissioned, I’ve been working on converting #rstats books from #bookdown to #quartopub. After spending a lot of time with Claude to get it right for my two books, here’s a repo that might help you do the same (especially with Claude Code):

Andrew Heiss (@andrew.heiss.phd; 8/3/1; 2026-02-16): bookdown the package is still alive and working great! It’s the bookdown dot org hosting service that’s getting shut down, but you can still host rendered bookdown html sites wherever else you want ↪
Solomon Kurz (@solomonkurz.bsky.social; 5/1/0; 2026-02-17): Ditto. But unless one has a strong reason to use bookdown, now is a great time to switch to a quarto-based workflow. As much as I liked bookdown, I have to admit quarto books are nicer. ↪
Chad Topaz Queer DEI Race Traitor (@chadtopaz.bsky.social; 0/1/0; 2026-02-16): Wait what? I’m sitting here working on a massive bookdown project right nowl Do I need to… not? ↪

It’s machine-translated, but readable enough.

Robert (Bob) Kubinec (@rmkubinec.bsky.social; 17/2/2; 2026-02-13): One way academic research practice should change with the advent of claude code:
Every academic with stats code (R/Python/Stata) should make Claude Code run “unit tests” for code files.
These tests can catch accidental data coding errors. Not perfect, but much better than the status quo.
