10 years of writing #RStat code, and I still get bitten by using [ ] instead of [[ ]]

"Bringing R to mobile wasn’t an easy feat. Like any innovative project, it involved countless hours of trial and error, learning, and refining. But the question remains: Why did we do it? What’s the real-world impact of having R in your pocket?"

I'm so, so thrilled to finally share the release of Rlinguo, a mobile app that runs R 📱

This is a fully, native mobile app that uses #webR in the backend to run R functions.

Available on the App Store (iPhone) & Play Store (Android)

Thank you 🙏

Colin 🤘🌱🏃‍♀️ @colinfay.bsky.social · Dec 18

It took me a couple of hours to get the confetti working on the app, but that's def worth it 🤣

Thanks 🫶

Colin 🤘🌱🏃‍♀️ @colinfay.bsky.social · Dec 18

I def agree with you, even more in an industry perspective where there are a lot of tablets used in the working environment. That's doable, but for the current app it was about proving that's possible, so we wanted to cover the devices where we would have the more reach :)
And thanks :)

Colin 🤘🌱🏃‍♀️ @colinfay.bsky.social · Dec 18

Awesome 💪 Feel free to download and test it, I'll be glad to have your feedback!

Colin 🤘🌱🏃‍♀️ @colinfay.bsky.social · Dec 18

There are a lot of restrictions when it comes to running webR, which is run in a sandboxed WebAssembly environment, so complex shiny apps would rely on things that might not be doable inside this env.

Colin 🤘🌱🏃‍♀️ @colinfay.bsky.social · Dec 18

Well, it might be a bit complicated, and I'm not sure it would really work in offline mode, and the app would need to be convertible to shinylive. I have explored this path so far, I feel like that's doable but for small apps and not large ones.

Colin 🤘🌱🏃‍♀️ @colinfay.bsky.social · Dec 18

Well, are there any other ways to write code? 😅

Did you manage to get 5 first attempts in a row? 😅
