Nick Strayer

Engineer on the Shiny team at @posit_pbc. I write code with #javascript/#typescript to help people write code in #rstats and #python

[Nick Strayer @NicholasStrayer]

Super excited to share with everyone the two ways I've been developing to make building your shiny app's UI faster, easier, and more pleasant: {gridlayout} and {shinyuieditor} (🧵1/5) #RStudioConf #RStats #rstudioconf2022

"Say no to slop. Managing AI generated code at scale is an emerging problem, and will require new processes and conventions to keep code quality high"

This is exactly what I've been building https://t.co/R0QZgeNox6 for

Entirely possible that my workflow though was highly fit to 4.5 and I need to figure out how to work with a new model. If that is the case I really hope we don't have to tweak workflows every 3 months as a model comes out. It's exhausting. #SoftwareEngineering

[Nick Strayer @NicholasStrayer]

After using Opus 4.6 for a while: I dont necessarily think it's better than 4.5. I've noticed more designs that it makes that are kind of obvious "I would not do it that way, let me fix it" than I had with 4.5. #ai #ClaudeCode

I got my start in programming with Jupyter notebooks and so they are dear to my heart. If you’re an adventurous data scientist, download the latest Positron and give it a try! Feedback is welcome and highly encouraged! https://t.co/0vZHKwZnLC

[Nick Strayer @NicholasStrayer]

For more than a year I have been working on a brand new Jupyter Notebook editor for Positron. This is a ground-up build of a new Jupyter Notebook experience built to leverage all the knowledge and tools Posit/Positron brings to the data science table. 🧵#jupyter

[Nick Strayer @NicholasStrayer]

For example, the notebooks have best-in-class AI support by leveraging full notebook context and Positron’s existing kernel/interpreter infrastructure

I spoke before the attributions slide! Work with @LucyStats and @travisgerke !

[Nick Strayer @NicholasStrayer]

@malco_barrett giving a great and super approachable talk on causal inference in R. Awesome work he’s doing with @sherrirose

📢The {ShinyUiEditor} is finally out of its "alpha" stage! 📢
We've taken off the big scary warning about using it and want you to take it for a whirl.
See my post about this on the Posit blog:

@charliejhadley @astrodotbuild @tailwindui You and me, too.

[Nick Strayer @NicholasStrayer]

Forgot to post this when it went live, but the new {shinyuieditor} website built with @astrodotbuild and @tailwindui components is live! Such a nice building experience. #rstats #webdev https://t.co/O8eHKYuA4Z

[Yan Holtz @R_Graph_Gallery]

I just discovered ShinyUiEditor.

It allows to build Shiny Apps with drag and drops!

[Nick Strayer @NicholasStrayer]

New {shinyuieditor} feature: the ability to clean up render functions for deleted outputs.
Started from a template with a plot you don't need? You don't have to manually go in and delete the renderPlot() code after deleting it anymore! #rstats #shiny https://t.co/O8eHKYuA4Z

[Appsilon @appsilon]

It’s official! The FDA has approved the first Shiny app submitted by the R Submissions Working Group. Read more on Pharmaverse blog, where our Appsilonians share how we used the Rhino framework to recreate the successful app for FDA's Pilot 2 project 🦏💙

I'm pretty happy with the latest feature of the {shinyuieditor}: synced IDs between your UI and server code. Did you change your slider input ID to "numBins" from "bins"? Now any server code that uses that input will update too, so your app doesn't break! https://t.co/O8eHKYuA4Z

[Nick Strayer @NicholasStrayer]

@mariusdotdev @astrodotbuild @tailwindui Confusing wording on my tweet. The landing page is in Astro. The editor itself is a pure react SPA.

[Nick Strayer @NicholasStrayer]

Sneak-peak of the new landing page for the {shinyuieditor}. I've been rewriting it in @astrodotbuild and @tailwindui and man, it's by far the nicest website-building experience I've had. Things just work the way you'd expect and it's static first.

This is huge! @jcheng announced Shinylive for R at #positconf2023 🔥

Now you can:

1. Convert Shiny to static HTML/CSS/JS/wasm
2. Write Shiny apps directly in a browser
3. Embed Shiny as Quarto code chunks in other webapps
