Yesterday in a busy Discord I suggested that what it really needed is a digest function, and then realized I was just describing listserv.
I spent a bunch of the weekend beginning a redesign of my ArmoreR project, which aims to be a Destiny 2 armor stats profiler built in R and Shiny. A year on from when I began it, I have a much better understanding of how a Shiny app works, and have also incorporated a proper, working oauth2 workflow into this revision (incorporating the things I figured out for my power level tracker). It’s really, really satisfying to be rebuilding it with all the things I’ve learned. I think the application is going to be so much better and less complicated than the first iteration. I still have a ways to go, and am happy with just how much I have transformed it with a year of learning and practice on other things.

Making adjustments to kiddo’s Minecraft server and am continuously grateful that the answer to “how did I do that?” is almost always found in the fish shell history.
Last fall I wrote a bit about a Destiny 2 power level tracking tool I built using R. I’ve now converted it to a full-on Shiny app and solved some issues with the oauth2 flow that stumped me in my intermittent tinkering with it. I’m super satisfied to have been able to get this to work! Now that I have the authentication process figured out, I’m eager to also convert my armor profiling tool to use it. Look out!
