I teach people to use R @rfortherestofus.com
Ever since we started making documents in Quarto and Typst, I've wanted to make EVERYTHING in Quarto and Typst. Curious to learn how make documents like these? Boy, do I have the blog post for you! #rstats

AI note takers do many things well. Irony is not one of them.

Do I even want to know why @hadley.nz?

I'm writing a blog post on making high-quality reports with Quarto and Typst like the ones we recently made for the Johns Hopkins University International Vaccine Access Center.

Anything in particular you want to know about how we make reports like these? #rstats

So smooth (if you get that joke, you are an #rstats nerd).

Of course @kylewalker.bsky.social already had a solution that I missed!

Does anyone know why shapefiles for Michigan often end up looking oversimplified like this? #rstats code in the alt text.

🎉 Big news! After 5+ years of consulting work under the R for the Rest of Us name, I'm launching Clarity Data Studio.

The name confusion was real – people thought we only did courses, not knowing about our consulting work building reports, websites, and more.

I also see a sort of intermediate approach from Urban Institute. Their {urbnthemes} package has a set of custom geoms they make that override the default geoms.

This is sort of like the approach that the {tidyplots} package takes: rather than having the user create plots from scratch with ggplot, it offers a set of helper functions to make plots for them.
