I’m excited about serving a shiny app from it!

This is so useful! Thanks for sharing
Oh my!
You choose your own model - I find sonnet very good for R. I have never managed to get the completions to work, just use it in the chat/agentic mode
I find cline to be great
Want to work with me on the Shiny team at @posit.co alongside @jcheng5.bsky.social @winstonchang.bsky.social @schloerke.bsky.social @grrrck.xyz?
We're looking for another engineer, apply here posit.co/job-detail/?...

Anyone interested in a 3 month paid internship in my group at Drug Hunter this summer. Ideally someone with full stack experience (e.g. PERN) and interest in semantic web technologies. Must be US-based. DM me on here if interested.
The most complex part was extracting a markdown table from the response so that it could be accessed in other parts of the shiny app (eg download to excel) but this issue showed us how to github.com/posit-dev/sh...
We built a very simple chatbot using shinychat and ellmer and a prompt containing all our quarto blog posts, publication dates and the published url. The large context window of the Gemini models helped a lot! It was very low effort thanks to the great packages but very well received.
Yeah, we do that using quarto. Very useful way to communicate and share with stakeholders at all levels. With ellmer, it was then trivial to turn it into a chatbot which has turned out to be very impactful for identifying gaps in documentation and summarizing team’s accomplishments
This will be so useful!
Very useful guide!
I'm writing up a brief history of the tidyverse? What do you want to know about it? #rstats
I love some JavaScript! Especially to make Shiny apps even more awesome 🤩.
But I know how daunting it can feel when you’re just getting started with #rshiny.
That’s why I wrote a JavaScript for Shiny Beginner’s Guide—so you can jump in with confidence: hypebright.nl/en/shiny-en/...
Atlas year in review - great as always youtu.be/szwRUERnoOM?...
Agreed! I have found that Elmer and Shinychat make this really straightforward, so thank you. Joe’s example of a dynamic prompt was really useful for me and enabled a lot of internal apps github.com/jcheng5/r-si...
Check out the new `pastum` extension for Positron (and VS Code I guess)—it's {datapasta} for Positron! It works with both R (base R, tibble, and data.frame) and Python (pandas and polars) github.com/atsyplenkov/... #rstats #python
Here’s the script! I need to improve it a bit and package it up when I have a bit more time 👉 github.com/victoriano/b...
A few things I've been working on lately:
elmer, elmer.tidyverse.org, is a new package to make it easier to work with LLMs (hosted and local) from #rstats. It includes helps for structured data extraction and tool calling, and an easy way to upload a plot. Joint work with Joe Cheng.
#rinpharma has just kicked off, great line up! rinpharma.com
We've got a brand new, baby website for Positron! Take a look if you are interested in getting started, and please let us know how it goes:
positron.posit.co
This taught me that he (and others) weren’t thinking about what problem we were solving (collective sense making of a complex business) and were just following a vendor’s tooling. I lost a lot of respect for a lot of tech folks soon after. This error is pervasive.
Fast and easy way to set your handle to your #quarto blog domain (I just did mine):
- Settings > Change Handle > No DNS Panel > Copy DID
- Create atproto-did file in blog
- Add atproto-did file to Quarto resources list
- Push
