Did you know you can search for R packages by what they do, as opposed to just their names?
Look! 👉🏼 rwarehouse.netlify.app
@kylieainslie.bsky.social made The Warehouse for just this purpose. Send it to a new R programmer today ❤️ because it's the resource we all wish we'd had at some point
#rstats
We are currently working on the igraph 3.0.0 release which will bring big changes to the #rstats package! One that just landed on GitHub is a new, modern printing method that uses cli 🙂
Check it out at github.com/igraph/rigraph
It's worse than forgetting to put women in it. They put women in it as second-class citizens, as objects, with no rights. The subject matter in this book will and should make us men feel angry and horrified (it did me. I thought I had an inkling of the worst out there. I didn't) 📘💙 #BookSky
Christoph Sax and I will be teaching at #useR2026: blockr, the open source no-code workflow builder for R.
This is exciting after 3 years of intense work with @bristolmyerssquibb.bsky.social
📆 When: Monday July 6, time: TBA
🔥 More about blockr: blockr.site
#rstats #shiny #nocode #reproducible
#Rstats package update: callr 3.8.0. OpenTelemetry, carrier::crate(), pseudo terminals, plus I fixed (well, closed) all issues, but one. See the changes at github.com/r-lib/callr/...
I'm very very excited to be part of this year's STA Fellows. 💫 🤩
I'm looking forward to learning more about the other fellows' work and projects and sharing mine.
Thank you for this great opportunity! #RStats

The `/packages` page of each r-universe now has a fancy filter/sort bar, e.g. check ropensci.r-universe.dev/packages
A quick #rstats technote about some cool recent additions to R-universe:
1. Social media cards that actually look good
2. PACKAGES.rds support (or: implementing R internals in JavaScript)
3. Fancy sort/filter bars in the WebUI
4. triggering a sync manually
5. Making check results easier to find
New #RStats post on the cynkra blog with @schochastics.net & @kirill79.bsky.social

Wrote a JS implementation for generating the R `PACKAGES.rds` binary format in Node, which are now served by R-universe. This should make your cran-like repos yet a tiny bit faster in R :) github.com/r-universe-o...
Writes PACKAGES.rds files. Contribute to r-universe-org/packages-rds development by creating an account on GitHub.

The ellipsis between required and optional arguments makes for more readable code. Here's how we handled it gently in older functions, without breaking users' code.
