Julian Reif (@JulianReif; 328112): Attention @Stata users who also like to use #Rstats: @davidmolitor and I developed a new Stata command, rscript, to help manage workflow. Type “ssc install rscript, replace” to install. Here’s a quick overview.

blogdown

Eric Dawson (@erictdawson; 131): @americanuninte1 @AcademicChatter I use a simple static site from Hugo, which you can use with the Blogdown R package, then host with GitHub Pages or Netlify (+ google domains or dreamhost for domain name). Super cheap ($12 / year), fast, easy, and lots of tutorials and community support.

Kapil.Khanal (@almost_kapil; 106): All the projects I worked on as a @CMU_Stats summer statistics/data science intern. @_jsanchez1 https://t.co/fv6V5VRNNj (It’s been few days i figured out how to setup #rstats #blogdown , hence a little late post…) https://t.co/zWZdUuDaZl

Lauryn Burleigh (@L_Burleigh; 61): Finally finished creating my site with blogdown! It is officially deployed and now has a logo. New posts to come. 🙂 https://t.co/ImKkR7EgnU #rstats #Website https://t.co/OPy3RW4qIi

The R-Podcast (Eric) (@theRcast; 30): @zhiiiyang @Brightspeaking I’m likely biased, but using {blogdown} 📦 with #hugo and #rmarkdown to power https://t.co/i8MzKnag8t and https://t.co/vstRRmNl4M makes posting my content fun and a great way to learn the stack behind it all 😀

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 30): @chendaniely Well blogdown does that for you (Rmd -> md). I do this in the static folder using this trick: https://t.co/PVdRlXFn7K > You can look at my personal website or any of my workshop websites as examples

Oleksiy Anokhin (@OleksiyAnokhin; 21): How to organize the Blogdown/Hugo content properly? https://t.co/BAhUj2Atuy #rstats. @andrewheiss , maybe you have any tips?

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 21): @nicfoxds @apreshill You are most welcome… I hope to see your site hosted on netlify soon…😊😊😊. Incase of any questions, ask on twitter and tag #rstats #blogdown. Happy ‘blogdowning’ (new word alert)

Julia Beitner (@JuliaBeitner; 20): @katestorrs @B_vanKemenade .@B_vanKemenade my website was also made in Blogdown with Hugo and with this tutorial it was relatively easy! Highly recommended :) https://t.co/JCve3jv6bV

Zhi Yang (@zhiiiyang; 20): @apreshill @Brightspeaking Remind me of a quote: platforms - they come and go, but s̵t̵o̵r̵y̵t̵e̵l̵l̵i̵n̵g̵ #blogdown is forever.

Dⓐniel Chen 🐍🏴‍☠️ (@chendaniely; 20): .@apreshill what’s the best way to create #blogdown pages (not blog posts, but something like a CV page) that reads content from a csv file (e.g., google sheets)? > Write the the page as an rmd file and then convert that to a raw md file before building+publishing the site?

Benjamin Wolfe (@BenjaminWolfe; 20): @EmilyRiederer @tableau @javierluraschi As I consider what a more #blogdown-driven flow might look like, I’m even more concerned w/ how these mechanics will work. > Refreshing data is slow and I likely want to keep some datasets stable, refreshing them only when I want to. > I was just 👓 this: > https://t.co/G3iAEY7RZE

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 20): @nicfoxds Ooh… cool. I created my site using blogdown, have a look: https://t.co/dpfeX1VCcW (still work in progress though 😊😊) > If you want to learn more about blogdown, check this book by @apreshill https://t.co/2B42gbOFLo

Kristen (@ka_99k; 12): What resource(s) would you recommend for learning R blogdown? Any suggestions/guidance would be greatly appreciated! #rstats @WeAreRLadies

Casper Albers (@CaAl; 10): @MarijeMichel Thanks! Blogdown and Hugo Academic actually do 90% of the work. I used that to make a first site, then tinkered with all part I wanted to change. Will write something down about that (but later). https://t.co/GLNarURXIc

Amy Orben (@OrbenAmy; 10): @Sam_D_Parsons @Saffello96 @MJaquiery @dsquintana But @Saffello96 is not using blogdown methinks ….

Joel Nitta (@joel_nitta; 10): @NataliaPabonMo1 If you use R blogdown is great, and there are free hosting options via netlify or github https://t.co/f0CNTRwhii

Houston Haynes (@whiskersedge; 10): @daveclarance @rstatstweet @code Agreed. That last one is tough. I still use @rstudio but have toyed with the idea of moving to @code. One of the things I’m nibbling around the edges with is tag highlighting for #blogdown and @semanticui in the editor - for deployment as an @azure Blob static site.

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 10): @nicfoxds Good job… 👏👏👏👏👏. Did you create your website using blogdown? How was the experience?

Nic Fox (@nicfoxds; 10): @WeAreRLadies Thanks 😊 No, I don’t know about blogdown. I’ll look into it. I published the R Markdown to html and published direct from RStudio to https://t.co/oTWbuFNAMp which hosts it for free 😃

{garrick, adenBuie} (@grrrck; 10): @CedScherer Agreed! Hugo does the final compilation for {blogdown} so you have to modify or work within your theme template. Sometimes you can inject html snippets, ie the html written with write_meta(), or you could use meta_social() as a starting point when you modify your template

JEMSU (@Jemus42; 0/1): Things I achieved today that probably nobody except me cares about: > - Use prism.js with my #blogdown blog, making it work with Rmd blog posts through knitr chunk options - extend the prism.js language definition for #rstats to highlight some infix operators, + %>% specifically

Ben Marwick (@benmarwick; 123): @Mcotsar @javisamo If you enjoy using #rstats and Rmarkdown, you might like xaringan for slide presentations: https://t.co/cMLHRMXtBV (using remark.js). Of course there is also an R pkg for revealjs: https://t.co/Uuui78CnNK. But I find xaringan much easier and more fun to use

Corrado Lanera (@CorradoLanera; 20): Great suggestions here like “one line per sentence!” when writing #bookdown (or other collaborating) 📚 on @github. That allows to 👀 exactly where changes happened. 😍🤩 A strategy I will adopt starting from right now on! https://t.co/N9DQi0bI23

Brenton Wiernik 🏳️‍🌈 (@bmwiernik; 10): @lobrowR For a new session, use system() https://t.co/7jc4f59hae or even just call knitr manually (the point of Rmd is that they always run in their own session when knit). For the existing session, see this discussion, https://t.co/40EDX0wHYA, but I suggest using .R files instead of .Rmd

Prof Gaëlle 🇪🇺 (@ProfGaelle; 10): @ac_maclachlan @rstats4ds @nicebread303 I found the solution! 1) save() to save the outputs of your simulation as an RData file. 2) in rmarkdown, load() to load your RData file before running code on your simulated data.
