Looking for feedback on my Quarto extensions listing!
How's the navigation and browsing experience at https://m.canouil.dev/quarto-extensions/?
Your feedbacks: https://github.com/mcanouil/quarto-extensions/issues/185 (or here)
I'd appreciate it if you could share/repost to help me reach more users!
I've (finally!!) finished porting my website over to Quarto: https://nrennie.rbind.io/
It looks much the same as the previous Hugo site and I've tried to make sure nothing is broken In an ideal world you won't notice any difference!
(But hopefully it's easier for me to maintain in the background)

Bernard Angele is back at the lectern #WoReLa1 with their own talk this time on "Low sampling rate is not an obstacle to making reading research more accessible". The #Quarto slides* are available here https://bangele.quarto.pub/worela2025/#/title-slide and they include rather hilarious distorted maps of the world illustrating the geographical distribution of #eyetracking studies on reading. Less hilariously, it turns out that, up until recently, the vast majority of eyetracking studies were carried out in the US and West Europe on major European languages. Now studies on Chinese in China are changing the picture, but still eyetracking reading studies are still limited to very few languages.
* Also, it turns out that using #QuartoPub to host Quarto slides is not only useful to share slides with the audience and on social media, but also to easily switch computer when the presenter's laptop can no longer connect with the temperamental projector.
You saw or you made something related to #QuartoPub #Quarto either with #ObservableJS, #RStats, #Python or #JuliaLang?
You want it to be seen/shared?
Please submit a suggestion issue to #AwesomeQuarto

Good news: I finally got my blog working in part by deleting my _site directory and re-rendering everything. Now, though, a strange issue on my Quarto blog - I can't get the category listing pages to display posts properly.
If anyone thinks they might know why, thanks in advance!! More details in my @Posit forum post :

Help kind people: Any ideas why I'd be getting an error like this when trying to render a Quarto blog on a Linux server recently updated with R and RStudio? I've been trying to track this down for hours. The file doesn't have any <

I had a great time at @EdinbR last night, talking about interactive charts in R (and catching up with people I haven't seen in a while)

Quarto 1.7 is here!
Now you can easily add light/dark mode to your projects with brand files and control which computational outputs appear in each mode with the new renderings option.
See it in action on quarto.org and learn more: https://quarto.org/docs/blog/posts/2025-04-28-1.7-release/
I got nerd sniped by @petejones . It is possible to have Neovim running in a container and use it as an IDE with R REPL, Quarto HTML preview, and a plot viewer. Possible, but not exactly beautiful.
I blogged about it: https://jimgar.github.io/posts/interactive-neovim-development-container-r-quarto/post.html
Be warned that the container has not really been stress tested.
Python devs, tired of messy reports?
Learn to create stunning HTML, PDF reports, dashboards, slideshows & even websites directly from your #Python code with Quarto!
We teamed up with Keith Galli for a 6-part live-coding series to show you how.

Ever wondered how to achieve more reproducible research outputs? On the Open Science Day at KU Leuven, we will introduce you to #QuartoPub as a tool to directly combine text and R/Python code into custom formatted documents!

The solar-powered Quarto project is making progress. The pre-render python script to dither and downsize images works :).
Context:
Quarto is a scientific/ technical publishing system. Among other things, it allows you to create static websites from a mixture of R/ Python/ Julia/ ObservableJS and Markdown. I'm trying to create a Quarto setup for a static website with a very minimal footprint to run on a small solar-powered server.
How do you do <some thing> in Quarto?
This app lets you ask natural language questions about Quarto tips I've rounded up over the years. Note it's not the complete Quarto docs! Just things I've thought were interesting or cool or I've looked up repeatedly
App: https://apps.machlis.com/shiny/quartotips/

New blog post from me about:
What is Observable?
Why should R users care?
How do you use both together to make interactive charts?
Once upon a time, in the land of Quarto, there lived a wise and benevolent Quarto Wizard. One day, whilst exploring the ancient libraries, he stumbled upon a magical listing of Quarto extensions. Recognising its immense value, he decided to share it with the people. With a flick of his wand, he made it possible to install these extensions with just a few clicks.
Today's diversion: turning my team's internal documentation wiki into a #QuartoPub book we can share with other folks in the organisation.
Ended up being about ~200 lines of #RStats to translate Azure Devops' wiki file structure into something that Quarto can render. Seems to work pretty well currently when targeting a HTML book, but leaves something to be desired when rendering to docx.
Code (but not wiki content) is on GitHub: https://github.com/wurli/azure-wiki-to-quarto/blob/main/azure-wiki-to-quarto.R
Not sure if this already exist, but I created a #quartopub filter which adds a domain preview to each link in a quarto html document. Might come in handy for accessibility.
