Open Source Software Development
Creating open source software benefits the community, allowing everyone to learn and grow together while advancing scientific discovery. We have the expertise to write clean, well-documented functions, produce vignettes, and develop package websites, enabling you to share your code with the world.
-
We are expert R package creators & maintainers and deeply value contributing back to the vibrant #rstats community.
Daly Analytics provides assistance to your lab or organization to build novel open source R software.
-
Communicating technical concepts effectively is an art. Daly Analytics loves to think deeply about how to translate technical topics to intended audiences in a concise manor.
-
At Daly Analytics, we love digging into a specialized domain and creating brand new code either to improve your workflow or enable reproducible analysis.
We are well versed in both Base R-style and the Tidyverse ecosystem to help you develop bespoke functions.
-
We literally wrote the book on how to submit your R Package to CRAN and solve common issues.
Daly Analytics knows what it takes to navigate the intricacies of submitting and re-submitting to CRAN - Let us help you release your open source software.
Our Open Source Community
We have built & maintained open source R packages since 2016 that have been downloaded over 92,000 times!
Here is a selection of organizations & communities that have leveraged that code:
Client Highlight
Problem
The CRAN Team often sees the same issues cropping up in package (re-)submissions to CRAN. The solution may be documented in the Writing R Extensions manual or the CRAN Repository Policy, however, it may take package maintainers some time to work out how to fix their package.
For new submissions, this can mean a long delay in getting a nearly finished package onto the official repository. For re-submissions, maintainers may miss the deadline set by the CRAN Team to fix the package, meaning a package can be temporarily or permanently archived, affecting users and other package developers. These all present a high barrier of entry to developing and submitting R packages to CRAN for new R developers.
Solution
Daly Analytics led a project team comprised of writers and industry/academic advisors to author and publish the “CRAN Cookbook”: A guide book for easy recipes to implement & discover for common CRAN submission issues. Daly Analytics provided technical writing and project management to help improve the skillset of R package maintainers and budding developers in a user-friendly Quarto website.
