I created awesome-blogdown.com 9 years ago, not long after {blogdown} was announced. It seemed like a fun way to help promote the project and its users. People have largely moved on to other tools and the list is stale though, so the website will be gone soon. It was fun while it lasted #rstats

Question for writers of Han/Kanji/Hangul or other script systems based on fixed-width logographs:
Usually the layout is naturally a grid due to the full-width nature of the glyphs. But if an alternative script (e.g. Latin) is inserted the grid is disrupted.

my package of choice for sea surface temperature data is rerddap (and I use the OISST dataset, usually)
how do you generally access land surface temperature data, and which dataset do you use? (I need a few decades at least, ideally 70s/80s to near-present day)

It will be interesting to see what happens when my favorite person waters the plant, but that will probably be a while, because it was watered just before I started logging.
