Al Addin RStudio Addins let you access R functions interactively at the click of a button (or with a keyboard shortcut, or via the RStudio command palette). I particularly like them for easy sharing of insertable pre-written code. https://www.rostrum.blog/2022/02/19/backtick/ Sat, 19 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2022/02/19/backtick/ tl;dr I wrote a tiny R package called {backtick}, which contains an RStudio Addin with a handful of functions for inserting backticks into your R scripts and R Markdown documents (yes, really). Plus one RStudio Addins let you select an R function from a dropdown menu in the RStudio IDE. They’re often functions that you don’t need in your executed script, but can make your life easier by performing some kind of supportive action. https://www.rostrum.blog/2021/08/31/add-biscuits/ Tue, 31 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2021/08/31/add-biscuits/ tl;dr I wrote a novelty R function that inserts comments after closing parentheses with the names of the functions they belong to. (These are called biscuits, apparently.) It’s available as an RStudio Addin from the {blogsnip} package. Matryoshka functions Shiny apps can involve a lot of nested functions in the UI, which can make them difficult to handle. Sometimes I comment after a closing parenthesis (‘paren’) with the name of the function that it’s closing, which makes it easier to match the pairs. https://www.rostrum.blog/2020/11/14/hello-r2eng/ Sat, 14 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2020/11/14/hello-r2eng/ tl;dr I created the work-in-progress {r2eng} package (source, site) to help translate R expressions to speakable English. Inspired by Amelia McNamara and with a huge amount of help from Chung-hong Chan. Communication is hard Amelia McNamara (site, Twitter) gave a talk at the useR! 2020 conference called ‘Speaking R’. Watch the video on YouTube, or take a look at the slides. To summarise greatly: R code should be speakable so that we can teach, learn and communicate with minimal friction.
