Positron 2026.03.0 is out — and it’s getting seriously good for real data workflows.
✨ Reliable step-by-step execution in R (finally!)
📄 Built-in PDF viewer (no more context switching)
📓 Notebook editor evolving: interactive data grids, better cell control, Jupyter-like UX
This is moving […]
Can you find your way out of the maze? Progress through trickier mazes and compete on the global leaderboards. Positron is out now on Steam Early Access. #ScreenshotSaturday #Positron #IndieGame #Steam #EarlyAccess
It was nice of Trevor’s World to take the time to talk to me about my game Positron at Huddersfield Comic Con this weekend. Check out their full event roundup, and the segment with me, here: youtu.be/ADvczSyU0qU?... #GameDev #IndieDev #Positron #Huddersfield #ComicCon
Positron is currently 33% off in the Steam Spring Sale too!

An interactive geotiff viewer extension for #vscode / #positron powered by @kylebarron.dev's amazing deck.gl-raster. Just click on a tif file and take a peek. Early days but give it a spin and let me know if there are any issues. ✌️

Today, I was pair coding w/ @ivelasq3.bsky.social & I literally said, "UGH! AIR, FORMAT THIS FOR ME, I DON'T KNOW HOW," and Air *did* format it for me, & I realized in that moment just how much I've come to rely on Air and auto-formatting in #positron. Thank you, @davisvaughan.bsky.social 🥳 #rstats
Also, using the UI is the MOST SUCCESSFUL WAY I've ever been able to stash and pop changes. It's so niiiiice!
Heres a fun game: count how many times I mention git making me cry (in the past) in this video 😂 #positron #databs #GitHub #Git #rstats #pydata
A few weeks ago, @ivelasq3.bsky.social & I hosted a #DSLab where we walked through using GitHub's integrations & extensions in #Positron - it's up on YT now! #rstats

#Positron and #VScode #rstats folks who have muscle memory of creating reprexes from highlighted code in RStudio: I made an extension to do basically the same thing, with HTML preview and all: open-vsx.org/extension/je...

Panache, a language server, formatter, and linter for #Pandoc , #Quarto and #R #Markdown files is now also available for #VScode and related editors like #positron See marketplace.visualstudio.com/items or https://open-vsx.org/extension/jolars/panache .
This is a nice little feature of #Positron when previewing variables:
(It shows the no. and % of missing values for each variable in a dataframe)
Do you think you can beat the maze, and set the fastest time? Check out my game @positrongame.com on Steam now. Featuring over one hundred levels, as well as Snake mode, and Deathmatch Arena mode coming soon!

Nice integrated PDF viewer in the latest version of #Positron from @posit.co! Now expand this to image files, too :-)

a message in my positron console that my virtual environment was disconnected from the extension host, that the extension shut down, and then my virtual environment was reconnected
working in #positron sampling a PyMC model and I got the virtual environment disconnection message below while it was sampling. the code finished and I know it all worked, so it all seems ok, except for one thing: I want to view a polars dataframe in the data explorer and I can't?
For over a month I have been using #positron. In most cases it is pretty much living the dream of working with R and Python from the same directory simultaneously! I like how it handles Git. I also now have the full universe of VS Code extensions available! There are some little things that […]

Hey #rstats, for people who want to try a modular code development with box, coupled with a bunch of new tools like: #rv, #air, #jarl, and vscode-first coding environment (probably would work with #positron), I made this template repo: github.com/novica/r-pro...

Positron users - do you set up multiple (all?) projects in a single workspace or open up each project into its own workspace. I'm thinking the latter is more common but I'm curious to know if others use the multiple-projects-in-one-workspace approach.

Changed to ragg in RStudio and printed a 1080x720 png of the same plot in RStudio and Positron. They were both “not great” on my machine.
Changed both to cairo via option(device=‘cairo’). Printed the same pngs.
Much better.

Could we get that #julialang thang for #positron already?
I just want to experience it in a warm, comfortable space that I’m familiar with, and that has a better DS-vibe than standard VS Code.
#TIL that #antimatter was discovered in 1932 as #positron s. The model that first predicted the possibility of positrons was theorized in 1928.
That’s before FM radio (1933), magnetic tape recorders (1934), and canned beer (1935)

@andrew.heiss.phd joined us on the DS Lab, shared his screen with us, and spilled all of his secrets. You REALLY want to watch this: youtu.be/kqYbJoebrwE (links galore in the description!)

I whipped up a little VS Code / Positron extension with a couple of helpers. "quarto-helpers" can be installed from the marketplace, Includes but is not limited to:
- Sass variable completion
- Fragment Autocomplete
- Absolute Position Autocomplete

Rarely do I get to see IT perspectives on administering IDEs at scale, so this is exciting. It's the same time as DS Lab, but the Lab will be offline Mar 3 for SPRING BREAK, so this is an excellent substitution if you're looking for a Tues event! #rstats #Positron #python
