Looking for a particular #rstats package or function? Try the new powersearch in r-universe.dev




The R-universe search engine WebUI now lazy-loads the cards (upon scrolling), such that we can include more results while making the page still load instantly! Have a look, e.g. r-universe.dev/search?q=json
Super cool new feature adds an interactive tour to r-universe package pages. Go try it! r-spatial.r-universe.dev/sf (or any other package page)

The stan team is switching to r-universe to build and distribute R packages 🚀 discourse.mc-stan.org/t/announcement…
Big rewrite of R-universe WebUI! Pages are cleaner, load much faster, better SEO, improved rendering of articles, citation, charts, etc. Some example pages: tidyverse.r-universe.dev tidyverse.r-universe.dev/packages tidyverse.r-universe.dev/dplyr tidyverse.r-universe.dev/articles/dplyr…
Short writeup on new rOpenSci package 'fluidsynth': ropensci.org/blog/2024/02/2…
This week there are two opportunities to share your questions/suggestions/ideas about R-universe. On Monday (5pm CET) we meet with the R consortium repositories WG: github.com/RConsortium/r-… On Tuesday (6pm CET) I will host rOpenSci's office hours: ropensci.org/events/coworki…

Technote about how r-universe cross compiles arm64 binaries on GHA: ropensci.org/blog/2024/01/1…
🚀 r-universe now builds both intel and arm64 macos binaries for packages with compiled code.
New technote on the blog: R-universe now builds WASM binaries for all R packages. Big thanks to @gwstagg for getting us this far! ropensci.org/blog/2023/11/1…
A rare weekend edition of the #rstats @rweekly_org Highlights Podcast is out! podverse.fm/episode/G0Brcz… 🧩 Scan QR codes with {opencv} @opencpu 🚧 Forecasting Pittsburgh potholes @conor_tompkins 🗺️ Adding context to maps @mikemahoney218 h/t @mike_ketchbrook @_ColinFay 🙏
We now build webassembly binaries (for use with webr) for all R packages on r-universe. The chromium icon in the table indicates if a wasm build is available, e.g. ropensci.r-universe.dev/builds

Over the last year we interviewed 5 research groups who actively develop R software about their goals, practices, struggles, and how they make use of r-universe.dev. Check out the wrap-up blog: ropensci.org/blog/2023/11/0…
Quick technote about QR scanner in R: ropensci.org/blog/2023/10/3…

New release of #rstats opencv has a super cool QR code scanner: docs.ropensci.org/opencv/referen… Install directly from: ropensci.r-universe.dev/opencv
Another option is r-universe (thanks to @opencpu) which has repositories for source (of course), and binaries (including Ubuntu LTS) # Install quantmod in R: install.packages('quantmod', repos = c('joshuaulrich.r-universe.dev', 'cloud.r-project.org')) joshuaulrich.r-universe.dev/quantmod
There are issues with getQuote() again github.com/joshuaulrich/q… It's fixed on GitHub, but won't be on CRAN for a couple weeks due to CRAN's summer break. Install the patched version in the meantime: remotes::install_github("joshuaulrich/quantmod") #quantmod #rstats
Updated 'hellorust' for the new CRAN guidelines to automatically vendor rust code when building an R source package: github.com/r-rust/helloru…
Quick technote about new cran.dev shortlinks: ropensci.org/blog/2023/07/2…
🚀 Extending the cran.dev with a JSON api, e.g. api.cran.dev/gert api.cran.dev/dplyr show the 'release' and 'devel' versions of a pkg, with links to corresponding source, docs, and metadata.
🚀 You can now use cran.dev shortlinks, e.g cran.dev/magick docs.cran.dev/magick To fly directly to the r-universe dev page or html manual for any CRAN package! 🤓
Small new pkg 'badgen' on CRAN to generate pretty badges in R (without internet): docs.cran.dev/badgen
