{ggswim} is a {ggplot2} extension package with the goal of making swimmer plots easy to create.

I would love to hear feedback and other opinions on the state of it, how it can be made better, or what steps should be taken for a CRAN v0.1 release. #dataBS #rstats #ggplot2

I had the great privilege of presenting the 𝒈𝒈𝒔𝒘𝒊𝒎 package at this year's R/Medicine conference.

𝒈𝒈𝒔𝒘𝒊𝒎 makes it easy to create swimmer plots for treatment timeline visualization and works with existing 𝒈𝒈𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒕2 frameworks.

#rstats {lintr} finally got a hex logo! Thanks to @gregswinehart.bsky.social! And of course @hadley.nz for the initiative.
A hex logo with 'lintr' written in light blue stitch. The angled white band behind this lettering appears to be "wiped on" by a lint roller at the right end of the hex. The rest of the hex is a Nordic knit sweater pattern in various shades of blue.

A common question I've seen from #data folks using Quarto is how to gate content or protect a site behind a login

Just wrote a short tech note on my blog about my recent experience using Netlify Identity for this

This is quietly one of the more worrying/bearish things I've read about generative AI. They're running out of data. They're getting more expensive but not much better and not really anymore powerful. It's like I warned you!
