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.
TIL:
- A pretty great collection of ways to spin up a quick local static server https://gist.github.com/willurd/5720255
- Why: in order to preview a locally rendered #Quarto website with Observable JS with all functionality, it needs to run on a local server (cannot just preview the HTML anymore)
- So, if you have your Quarto website that uses OJS, just navigate to your rendered directory (e.g. _site) and run e.g. `uvx python -m http.server 8000`. There is your website with full reactivity.
What came out of it: You can now select the Big Publishing company of your choice for my rejection template for review requests by them ;)

I created an R package that makes it easy to create Tabsets in Quarto. #RStats #quarto
https://sayuks.github.io/quartabs/
Learn how to use grouped tabsets and the Tabby extension in #Quarto to write documentation for both #RStats & #Python users!
Read about grouped tabsets and the Tabby extension here: https://posit.co/blog/creating-multilingual-documentation-with-quarto/
So looking forward to chatting about how to *Brand Your Quarto Projects with brand.yml* tomorrow with R-Ladies Philly!
Learn to create professional, polished #Quarto docs with YOUR brand!

#rstats #rspatial peeps, I finally figured out how to interact with an interactive map (leaflet in this case) and make it fly to different locations in a #quarto #closeread scrolly-telling document. No need for #shiny, just a stand-alone .html file 
We’re thrilled to announce the winners of the Closeread Prize! 
Particular thanks to our guest judges Suzannah Lyons and @phocks for lending their journalistic insights to our evaluations, as well as to Curtis Kephart and the @Posit team for their hard work and support of the contest 
Andrew and I have more big plans for Closeread in 2025! If you haven’t given it a spin, you can make your first scrollytelling story with #Quarto at https://closeread.dev
Closeread Prize winners are here!
