Another #Quarto + #RStats + Observable combination for Day 27 of the #30DayChartChallenge

Two heatmaps to illustrate the prompt of "Noise" - unsorted heatmaps look like random noise, (sensibly) sorted heatmaps are more likely to reveal patterns!

I had a blast w/ @rladiesrome.bsky.social discussing Interactive #RStats, #Python, and Shiny in the Browser with #Quarto and Shinylive!

We’re thrilled to announce the winners of the Closeread Prize!

Particular thanks to our guest judges Suzannah Lyons and @phocks for lending their journalistic insights to our evaluations, as well as to Curtis Kephart and the @Posit team for their hard work and support of the contest

Andrew and I have more big plans for Closeread in 2025! If you haven’t given it a spin, you can make your first scrollytelling story with #Quarto at https://closeread.dev

Once upon a time, in the land of Quarto, there lived a wise and benevolent Quarto Wizard. One day, whilst exploring the ancient libraries, he stumbled upon a magical listing of Quarto extensions. Recognising its immense value, he decided to share it with the people. With a flick of his wand, he made it possible to install these extensions with just a few clicks.

What kind of wizardry is this?!

For the second time, I teach "Introduction to Open Data" at HES-SO / Haute école de gestion de Genève this semester. Since it covers both Open Research Data and Open Government Data, it made sense to... make the course materials open.

I've rebuilt the site using #Quarto: https://julsraemy.ch/intro-open-data

It's a 16-hour course for Information Science undergrads. Yes, that's also a bachelor's degree in some countries in Europe!

What are suggested best practices for .gitignore, when using #Posit #Positron with #Quarto and #JuliaLang? Of course I'll want to version control the `.qmd` and `.toml` files. OK to NOT track the rendered output (eg `*.html`) and `*_files/libs/` (which contains bootstrap/js/css stuff)?

Very small post on adding a navbar icon for #codeberg on a #quarto blog. Thanks @gvwilson for the nudge, @MickaelCanouil and @ellakaye for solving it!

Level up your Quarto game with the "div-reuse" extension: Write once, reuse everywhere!

Do Repeat Yourself the smart way!

Why I switched our open-source project's forum hosting to @nodebb and how it's helping us kick-start our community:

https://dualpower.supply/posts/nodebb/

Small victories with Positron, Quarto, and Julia: - #Positron from #Posit --> - running #Quarto --> - using #JuliaLang engine (no longer with IJulia, so no Python requirement) --> - with #Tidier.jl and RDatasets to plot `mtcars` in #tidyverse style --> - to render to HTML It's alive!

It would be nice to have a way for #quarto sites to generate urls like marcoshuerta.com/about/ without having to make a directory structure that is about/index.qmd. (about.qmd woud generate a URL with about.html)

Every qmd source file for my quarto web site is "index.qmd" because of this and it's just a lot harder to quick find the file I want to edit with VS code because of that.

I've updated my Quarto comments extension to support Bluesky, as well as Mastodon/Fediverse! Any replies on either network *should* now appear in a nice unified interface, along with links and current comment counts.

Just wrote a new blogpost on the progress we've made with our open-source flow battery, check it out and let us know what you think! (ideally in our forum so that we can kickstart our community )

I made a #quarto extension! I sorta wrote Lua?! It adds bootstrap tooltips over a bootstrap info icon.

#QuartoPub

I was able to get bootstrap tooltips in my #quarto dashboard valuebox title.

Required a little javascript in the YAML header and then making the valuebox like this:

Introducing {peeky} R pkg !

Download and extract #Shinylive apps from #Quarto documents or standalone URLs. Perfect for exploring, learning from, and remixing #Shiny applications in both #rstats and #python. Emphasizes "there are no secrets" in #wasm.

With the uptick in public notes for #Bluesky, feel free to follow me over there at:

I'm usually up to some #rstats / #quarto / #wasm / #python shenanigans.

Fun fact: I was user number 1,389,857!

oh my goodness. So as much as I'd love to just be making reveal.js slides straight from #rstats and #quarto the fact is my boss and conference translators want pptx. Finding this blog post about making ggplots editable in pptx slides by @PipingHotData has just totally made my day, thanks Shannon! https://www.pipinghotdata.com/posts/2020-09-22-exporting-editable-ggplot-graphics-to-powerpoint-with-officer-and-purrr/
