About me: 🏃‍♀️ I'm an ultra-trail runner, which consists of finding the hardest way to go from A to B with my feet, 🧑‍💻 and a programmer, which consist of finding the easiest way to go from A to B with my computer.

New on the @thinkR_fr blog : "Sharing data across shiny modules, an update" : rtask.thinkr.fr/sharing-data-a…

Slides from my talk at the #ShinyConf2025 are online : speakerdeck.com/colinfay/beyon…

@Baptiste_Mart1 @keithdunn Yes :)

@_ColinFay @keithdunn Fun run is 3 loop with 13:20 by loop?

24 hours into the #BM100 no runners have completed Loop 2.

@Baptiste_Mart1 @keithdunn Nop, but they can still do the fun run

@keithdunn So 0 finisher this year?

After multiple failed attempts, the conch was blown at 10:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.

10 years of writing #RStats code, and I still get bitten by using [ ] instead of [[ ]]

@dearsanjubaba @JoachimSchork Yes, in the same way as {shiny} has brought R to the web :) It's not an IDE where the user can send their code, it's a real app that uses R in the backend for its business logic

@JoachimSchork Has this really "brought" R to mobile though? At best it seems no more than a game?

Bringing R to mobile required persistence, innovation, and countless hours of problem-solving. The result? A powerful tool that makes data analysis more accessible, flexible, and mobile than ever before. This is a game-changer for analysts and developers alike. Thank you, @_ColinFay, for pushing the boundaries of what's possible! #DataScience #RStats #Innovation #MobileTech

@Ifeanyidiaye This is different because the app doesn't take R code written by the user to compile it, it's a "real" app, not a console, that relies on business logic written in R.

@_ColinFay This is indeed a great feat! Well done! But I wonder how this differs from R compilers that already exist on Android.

"Bringing R to mobile wasn’t an easy feat. Like any innovative project, it involved countless hours of trial and error, learning, and refining. But the question remains: Why did we do it? What’s the real-world impact of having R in your pocket?" #RStats buff.ly/3X8U6QL

@dmi3k Well, you know, "R finds a way" :)

Nice intro to WebAssembly buff.ly/4ggNyWQ

Friday morning be like

Fresh on @thinkR_fr blog: "Setting values in R6 classes, and testing with shiny::MockShinySession" rtask.thinkr.fr/setting-values… #RStats

Still my fav video of the whole internet

@ThePracticalDev Thanks for the shoutout 🫶🫶

Rlinguo is here! Experience a native mobile app that brings R to your phone. R capabilities on iOS and Android are now at hand. { author: @_ColinFay } #DEVCommunity dev.to/colinfay/intro…

@oranwutan Oooh nice

@_ColinFay There is a ‘maximize’ button (right lower corner) that does the magic

#RStats I'm so, so thrilled to finally share the release of Rlinguo, a mobile app that runs R 📱 This is a fully, native mobile app that uses #webR in the backend to run R functions. Available on the App Store (iPhone) & Play Store (Android) rtask.thinkr.fr/introducing-rl…
