Let’s walk through how to set up a ~minimal HTML/JS/CSS + WebR-powered “app” on a server you own. This will be vanilla JS (i.e. no React/Vue/npm/bundler) you can hack on at-will. TL;DR: You can find the source to the app and track changes to it over on GitHub if you want to jump right in…. Continue reading
WebR 0.1.0 was released! I had been git-stalking George (the absolute genius who we all must thank for this) for a while and noticed the GH org and repos being updated earlier this week, So, I was already pretty excited. It dropped today, and you can hit that link for all the details and other… Continue reading

Visiting #2 and doing some $WORK-work, but intrigued with Hanukkah of Data since Puzzle 0 was solvable with a ZIP password cracker (the calendar date math seemed too trivial to bother with). Decided to fall back to R for this (vs Observable for the Advent of Code which I’ll dedicate time to finishing next week)…. Continue reading
Quarto is amazing! And, it’s eating the world! OK. Perhaps not the entire world. But it’s still amazing! If you browse around the HQ, you’ll find many interesting notebooks. You may even have a few yourself! Wouldn’t it be great if you could just import an Observable notebook right into Quarto? Well, now you can…. Continue reading
My {darksky} package has been around for years, now, and the service that powers it was purchased by Apple before the pandemic. The DarkSky API is slated to be shuttered in December of this year and is being replaced by Apple’s WeatherKit xOS Framework and REST API. I’ve started work on a {weatherkit} package which… Continue reading

You can read the one newsletter section to get a feel for Leonardo, then go play with it a bit. The app lets you… Continue reading
In my M-F newsletter today I mentioned an awesome Rust-based HTML/JS/CSS minifier library that also include batteries for a few other languages. There was no R port, so I made one using {rextendr}. The {rextendr} package makes is as easy to use Rust code in R packages as {Rcpp} does C/C++ code. It was as… Continue reading
