More #rstats + OpenTelemetry news: @schloerke.com finally got all of the async issues in {ellmer} and {shiny} sorted out and tracing now works!
Here's what combining {shiny} + {ellmer} + {httr2} + {mirai} + {otel} looks like today.

We just released a blog post about something I'm very excited about: Great Docs. Post is in the *new* Posit Open Source site:
opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-04...
Great Docs is a #python pkg for creating beautiful Python package websites. We make it easy to use but also give you lots of options.
We’re excited to launch the Posit Open Source website! 🚀
We’ve unified 15+ years of tools, 900+ blogs, and 1,600+ videos in one place.

If you've ever needed to install R on Linux but couldn't find builds for your distro, we now have portable R builds for most modern Linux (Arch, non-LTS Ubuntu, Alpine, AL2023, etc)
no root needed, extract anywhere, install multiple R side by side. R 4.6.0 down to 3.0.0, x86_64 + arm64. #rstats
Note: these are still experimental and you might hit some bumps, but bug reports welcome :)
Just released mori 0.1.0 on CRAN — a new R package for shared memory across processes. Parallel R no longer has to mean duplicating your dataset in every worker's RAM.

I've been trying this out recently and it works great! simplifies the JavaScript <-> R communication a lot. I've updated my Shiny+React example app to use this, as another example: github.com/glin/shiny-r...

Even with LLMs, I'm not sure this approach is for everyone. but if you're like me years ago, trying to jam custom JS into R and finding it horrible to develop/maintain, I think it's worth going full web dev and getting all the benefits of proper tooling + unlimited JS libraries on npm

mori is a new R package for sharing R objects across processes via OS-level shared memory. Parallel workers get zero-copy, lazy ALTREP access to the same physical pages — share once, read anywhere.
Great Docs is a new documentation site generator for Python packages. It auto-discovers your API, builds a modern site with Quarto, and ships with LLM-friendly features and one-command deployment.
