- I've spent a lot of time wrestling with base #rstats plots in Shiny this year and thought I'd share the solution I've come up with to ensure they scale correctly and downloads match exactly what is shown in the app: simon-smart88.github.io/forest_plot_...
- #rstats when I run devtools::test() from the Build pane I get an error that mirai isn't installed even though it is. I use r2u and have already uninstalled with apt remove and reinstalled. It runs okay from the terminal but whatever environment shinytest2 runs in can't find mirai either. Any ideas?
- I've made digital art using .svgs for many years and inspired by #rtistry I've made a #rstats #rshiny app which generates them: simonsmart.shinyapps.io/savage-patte... the video shows some example outputs.
- Myself and @statsforbios.bsky.social are running a workshop in September to introduce Disagapp disagapp.le.ac.uk for disaggregation regression. More details and sign up at forms.office.com/e/pjfbD6RvTi #rstats #episky #AcademicSky
- Pretty cool that 10 % of UK farmland is now being managed with an #rstats #rshiny app www.linkedin.com/posts/tomscr... #iykyk
- Shinyscholar 0.4.1 is up on CRAN. The UI has been migrated to {bslib} along with other tweaks to modernise it. Async tasks now run using {mirai}. Want to learn more? Then come along to the Workshop for Ukraine in a few weeks : sites.google.com/view/dariia-... #rstats
- I'm delivering a Workshop for Ukraine on 5 June about {shinyscholar} cran.r-project.org/web/packages... a template for creating reproducible shiny apps for complex analyses in #rstats . More info and sign up here: sites.google.com/view/dariia-...
- Being able to cancel and restart slow-running jobs in shiny with {mirai} is a bit of a game-changer #rstats Full app in alt text / gist.github.com/simon-smart8... with a method for updating progress too
