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/...

Been a bit quiet here 🫢
Yes, part of the reason is that I still am on maternity leave (or parental leave, whatever you call it, my baby is 9.5 months old). So different priorities.
But another reason is that I don’t like the short form format. I always have too much to tell 😂😅. Am I the only one?

💡 What happens when you take everything you've learned about LLMs… and turn it into an app people can actually use?
In Part 3 of The Shiny Side of LLMs, we build DeckCheck — a Shiny app (#RStats & #Python) that acts like your Presentation Rehearsal Buddy.

In today's spotlight: precommit 🪝
A pre-commit hook is like a checkpoint. If the hook finds a problem, it stops the commit and tells you what to fix.
In #rstats, you can add pre-commit hooks with precommit 📦. Built on the pre-commit framework it provides useful hooks specifically for R.

If you work with Linux distros like Ubuntu/RHEL/Fedora, this might be handy. Endlessly hitting the “up” arrow, using "history", or browsing internet for the same command can be tiring… 😂. So here you go!

But I have the opportunity to do so now and I’m going to grab it. Time for family 💙.
