A Collection of Small Text Corpora of Interesting Data

A collection of small text corpora of interesting data. It contains all data sets from 'dariusk/corpora'. Some examples: names of animals: birds, dinosaurs, dogs; foods: beer categories, pizza toppings; geography: English towns, rivers, oceans; humans: authors, US presidents, occupations; science: elements, planets; words: adjectives, verbs, proverbs, US president quotes.

Praise Users

Build friendly R packages that praise their users if they have done something good, or they just need it to feel better.

Share Sensitive Information in R Packages

Allow sharing sensitive information, for example passwords, 'API' keys, etc., in R packages, using public key cryptography.

Check if the Title of a Package is Available, Appropriate and Interesting

Check if a given package name is available to use. It checks the name's validity. Checks if it is used on 'GitHub', 'CRAN' and 'Bioconductor'. Checks for unintended meanings by querying 'Wiktionary' and Wikipedia.

Run CRAN URL Checks from Older R Versions

Provide the URL checking tools available in R 4.1+ as a package for earlier versions of R. Also uses concurrent requests so can be much faster than the serial versions.

Notifications from 'Shiny'

Browser notifications in 'Shiny' apps, using 'toastr': < https://github.com/CodeSeven/toastr#readme>.

Helpers for Developing Command Line Interfaces

A suite of tools to build attractive command line interfaces ('CLIs'), from semantic elements: headings, lists, alerts, paragraphs, etc. Supports custom themes via a 'CSS'-like language. It also contains a number of lower level 'CLI' elements: rules, boxes, trees, and 'Unicode' symbols with 'ASCII' alternatives. It support ANSI colors and text styles as well.

Tools for 'CRAN'-Like Repositories

A set of functions to manage 'CRAN'-like repositories efficiently.

Lightweight Portable Message Queue Using 'SQLite'

Temporary and permanent message queues for R. Built on top of 'SQLite' databases. 'SQLite' provides locking, and makes it possible to detect crashed consumers. Crashed jobs can be automatically marked as "failed", or put in the queue again, potentially a limited number of times.

Stack Data Type as an 'R6' Class

An extremely simple stack data type, implemented with 'R6' classes. The size of the stack increases as needed, and the amortized time complexity is O(1). The stack may contain arbitrary objects.
