Quotes of the Week

We live in a magical time for #dataviz. This map is just a static html page served on GitHub pages 🤯 It uses the incredible {pmtiles} #rstats package by @kylewalker.bsky.social to quickly filter through ~21M rows of data hosted on Cloudflare vehicletrends.github.io/hhi-map/

— John Paul Helveston (@jhelvy.bsky.social) February 25, 2026 at 11:17 PM

Given the recent spicy #rstats threads, an important reminder: There's no single right way to code If it works for you, that's all that matters really Be good to your fellow coders

A great use-case for Nano Banana Pro: creating #rstats hex logos. It used to take me hours to put these logos together (I'm not a graphic designer), but logos really help with branding R packages. With Nano Banana I feed Gemini the package spec, iterate, and get great results.

Quotes of the Week

A visualisation of forest canopy height in Shiretoko National Park, Hokkaido, two ways. Which do you prefer? I can never decide. What I can say is that Shiretoko is beautiful. And windy. And the sika are unafraid. Also, hot waterfalls.#rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale pic.twitter.com/O16SBsOzla

I'm excited to share a new version of the Air formatter for #rstats, with support for tabular formatting! Super useful with `tibble::tribble()` calls or `data.table::fcase()`. It's currently experimental as we're looking to get feedback on the feature, so please let us know what you think.
