Open Source Software Development

Creating open source software benefits the community, allowing everyone to learn and grow together while advancing scientific discovery. With extensive involvement in the R ecosystem, contributions include participation in events like the rOpenSci Unconference in 2017, the development and maintenance of three popular CRAN packages—shinyLP, ttbbeer and avilistr—and several packages & apps on GitHub, such as shinyGEO and gramr. In addition, I led a project group to create custom technical documentation for R package developers, funded by the R Consortium. Recently, I reached a milestone of 100,000+ downloads for these CRAN packages!

This commitment to open source development centers on writing clean, well-documented functions, producing detailed documentation, and developing package websites. These efforts aim to empower others to share, learn, and grow, ultimately making a lasting impact on the R community and advancing scientific discovery.

    Publishing to CRAN

    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 100,000 times!

Here is a selection of organizations & communities that have leveraged that code:

Logo of Improvement Service with lowercase letters 'is' in blue and red, and 'improvement service' in blue and red text.
University of Cambridge logo with coat of arms featuring lions and crosses.
EHDEN Foundation logo with colored squares and magnifying glass graphic.
Logo of Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council with map and fish graphic.

If you have a project in mind we'd love to hear about it!
