Anyone know of a better solution for Google Chat on the desktop than the web app? The web app is really rough around the edges. Would love to sideload the iOS app, even though I'd lose the Google Meet integration.

Real excited that @vscode.dev can do OS notifications when Tasks finish now. I've been wanting this one for years — plenty of #rstats devs who want to be able to minimise their code editor while a chunky analysis runs!

There’s a special place in hell for Matter appliance manufacturers who put the pairing code in the box and not on the device itself (or, better yet, both)

There’s so much packed into plumber2, it looks rad as hell. Serving parameterised Quarto reports off an API endpoint with a single tag… so cool!
I am super hyped to finally share the first release of plumber2 with all of you. This has been the center of my attention for a big part of 2025 and I hope you'll find it a worthy update to the venerable plumber package.
The blog post will tell you more

Registration for @wombat.numbat.space is open — come along and let’s talk about scrollytelling and telling stories with data!
Making effective scrollytelling visualisations is hard, but @jamesgoldie.dev 's Closeread makes it so much easier. Come learn about Closeread's design decisions and what's coming next for this great tool.
