What’s New in R: May 5, 2025
Welcome to this week’s edition of What’s New in R! This week, we’re featuring a guide on getting your Quarto projects out into the world with GitHub Pages, a personal journey into R programming, and a new package for working with colors. Let’s dive in!
Dissemination using Quarto and Github Pages
James Bartlett has created a comprehensive guide on how to disseminate Quarto projects using GitHub Pages. GitHub Pages is a great (and free!) way to share your Quarto websites, books, and more online.
My start with R
Matt Kmiecik shares his personal journey into the world of R programming. From an R skeptic to someone who “can’t imagine [his] life without this wonderful programming language”, this blog post is a meditation on why learning to use R can do more than just change how you work with data.
{flexoki} package
Mark Scheuerell introduces the {flexoKi} package. This package is based on Steph Ango’s flexoki, a set of beautiful color palettes. If you’re looking for some new color inspiration in R, check it out!
