I'm currently rebuilding my personal website with it and I'm really impressed. As with most RStudio products I've encountered over the years, I find it is intuitive, well documented, and quite powerful. I also think RStudio has played an important role in making the R community quite pleasant and inclusive.
Is it? I liked Rmarkdown until I discovered org-mode and org-babel. It does a lot of stuff better like the option to tangle chunks into multiple files which is killer (last time I looked Rmarkdown still lacked that, not sure about Quarto) and the ability to do stuff like make a table in my text and then USE it in R for calculations is amazing for making examples or grabbing some random HTML table off a site and doing something.
"Org-Mode" requires the use of Emacs, though, correct? Can you offer a tool that doesn't involve having to join that cult, I'm asking for a friend who's already a loooooong time member of a completely different cult. One with less RSI, and RMS ;)
I love Quarto! It's so much more pleasant than writing LaTeX, but you still get professional-looking documents with Python graphs that update themselves!
Yes it is, I’ve looked at various options to publish jupyter notebooks, finally found Quarto, and it’s a full publishing platform with surprisingly decent UX and easy customizability.
I don't want to speak for the person above, but I've used it a bit. It's like Jupyter Notebook with an eye towards producing really nice looking documents. It's pretty easy to use, though they are still working on it and it may not be feature-complete yet.
How different is it from RMarkdown? I thought is was supposed to be quite similar. Because that is really nice to use when preparing analyses for collaborators. I’d like to get back to having more “compiled” style notebooks for things aside from just R.
