I love some JavaScript! Especially to make Shiny apps even more awesome 🤩. But I know how daunting it can feel when you’re just getting started with #rshiny. That’s why I wrote a JavaScript for Shiny Beginner’s Guide—so you can jump in with confidence: hypebright.nl/en/shiny-en/...

Editing the @rinpharma.bsky.social 2024 workshop recordings and I'm already learning great new tricks, like this gem from @nrennie.bsky.social 's parameterized Quarto workshop 👇 Loading function scripts using the file parameter in a code chunk! #rstats #quarto #rinpharma

Looks like I found my way to BlueSky! I'm always eager to connect with the amazing #rstats community that's still going strong and my fellow #linux nerds 👋 Soon I'll be sharing new tips and tricks with #shiny and how #nix has supercharged my infrastructure. Plus my continued love for retro gaming 🎮
