#webRios 1.1 is live! The big additions: code completion, customizable keyboard shortcuts, and a Data Import Wizard. Plus a better iPad four-pane layout (still a work in progress, more coming). #RStats on your iPhone and iPad keeps getting better. Best experience on #iOS 26.

#rstats In very non-Superbowl news, here's an experimental 📦 for nice graphics display and UX in VS Code (and other potential front-ends). github.com/grantmcdermo...

Do you all have a need to encrypt files you generate before sending? I’ve been working with honeycakefiles.com to protect files. Just seeing if there might be interest in an r package to use it to protect your files if I can get one put together (with permission of the company)? #rstats

🎉 Excited to announce that typeR is now on CRAN! typeR simulates typing animations for R scripts - perfect for live coding demos and presentations. Install: install.packages("typeR") Docs: fgazzelloni.github.io/typeR/ #rstats #RPackage

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited! - `filter_out()` for dropping rows - `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

#rstats I've been testing out `arf`, a new R console written in Rust. Early days, but a v. smooth experience so far. Much simpler to install and link from VS Code than radian, for example, with better features too. github.com/eitsupi/arf

Mood in minneapolis right now

I spent way too long on this package and ultimately had to pull back on some ambition. But the {fpa} package is on its way to CRAN. If you do lots of time intelligence functions in #rstats- this package comes in very handy as it provides sugar syntax for common needs usrbinr.codeberg.page/fpa/

Hi guys! 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? #RStats #Shiny

Async programming won't save your Plumber API from long-running jobs. The ML model training endpoint finishes in 10 minutes, but the client times out after 1. Retries create more jobs that overwhelm CPU/RAM, killing performance. Polling and webhooks fix this. #rstats joekirincic.com/posts/perfor...
