> **Katie Scranton** (@DrScranto; 15/3): I finally made my website with blogdown 📦 #rstats and BONUS I wrote a blog post about it! Come for the Lena Smith jokes, stay for the Alvin and the Chipmunks references. https://t.co/lv6oRQcJLH  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1002722388629286912)

> **Mara Averick** (@dataandme; 8/0): @xieyihui @ma_salmon @grrrck The blogdown book covers a mind-blowing amount of awesome material! It is perpetually open in a tab whenever I'm doing anything with blogdown or hugo. 💖  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1002584257141895169)

> **Yihui Xie** (@xieyihui; 1/0): @ma_salmon @grrrck @dataandme Do you plan to release your package to CRAN? If not, I'm a little too lazy to export it, because I'm not sure whether it really belongs to the blogdown package (it could be generally useful -- not limited to edit blog posts but any Rmd files in batch).

My WIP app uses it https://t.co/1yixlVTIIZ (btw happy to contribute it to blogdown itself if there is interest)  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1002586008494526464)

> **Laura Graham** (@LauraJaneGraham; 0/0): @SwindleApe Yup, the blogdown R package allows you to write content using markdown. R does a lot, but it does not yet make me a cup of tea.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1002490116181553152)

# knitr

> **Eamon Caddigan** (@EamonCaddigan; 1/0): I just used RStudio + knitr to make a report with no code, because I wanted to use LaTeX to typeset equations in a Word doc.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1002615591637848064)

> **Steven V. Miller** (@stevenvmiller; 0/0): Also, I morphed into a workflow/reproducibility fetishist as I got older. You can do that in Stata but R seemed more intuitive and more flexible.

Plus: tidyverse and knitr, man. ✊  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1002553025091854337)

> **Egor Ananyev** (@EgorAnanyev; 0/0): @tsawallis Same here, except my foray into Python stats was ~year. (1) #rstats still more powerful, with more methods available faster in #R. (2) #RStudio cross-platform,  trivial to install, #knitr &amp; #vim mode out of the box, no messy environment setup. (3) #ggplot2 unbeatable.

# xaringan

> **Alison Hill** (@apreshill; 0/0): @zaid_ha @nazliozum Hadn't heard of that package! Looks interesting, although there is a notice on the site that the package is inactive and to use officer instead: https://t.co/ZueOZnahU9 xaringan is for making HTML5 slides from R Markdown 😍  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1002385303275884544)
