I've written a short blog post about the process of switching from Hugo to Quarto, some of the tricky things, and advice for those thinking about doing the same!

I finally tried using a #Quarto doc with #Python in #PositronIDE .

Y'all. It's so good. It's so flippin nice. I even added a snippet to easily add a python code cell by pressing `p + tab`.

It finds my `uv` virtualenv, I can just add more code and hit `Ctrl + Enter` and it goes to the console, and everything behaves *mostly* like it does when I'm writing #RStats .

Here is a #quarto #rstats trick that could be useful and I just figured out! If you want to parametrise the creation of pages within a website, instead of using a purrr loop with quarto_render on a .qmd temlpate, use a purrr loop with writeLines to create your .qmd files in a script loaded before rendering with the pre-render yml option!

A blog post is coming soon but you can already have a look at my repository for example: https://github.com/damien-dupre/cere2025

If you want to get useful work done with R—like making visualizations, automating reports, or building simple websites—this book shows you how.

No heavy math. No academic detours. Just clear, hands-on guidance for using R with tools like ggplot2, Quarto, and the tidyverse.

#RStats box(which = “figure”) on plot to see how they are positioned in quarto documents is quite nice! (Yes I could inspect the html …)

Do you have some tips to make my #quarto life easier?

New blogpost: Lab Notebook Entry #4

In which I write just to tell you I did a lot of work including video recording of cell assembly processes that I then lost on my laptop :/

Taking some L's right now in life and in lab, hoping to get some momentum back.

Good news: I finally got my blog working in part by deleting my _site directory and re-rendering everything. Now, though, a strange issue on my Quarto blog - I can't get the category listing pages to display posts properly.

If anyone thinks they might know why, thanks in advance!! More details in my @Posit forum post :

I wrote an #rstats package to extract data that a laboratory device saves to Excel spreadsheets. On this occasion, I thought I'd give blogging a try

New blogpost: Lab Notebook Entry #1

Trying to share more bite-size updates of what I am actually working on, and by working on, I mean "what did I break today in lab"

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!

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/
