When we started working on Positron, we began by asking "what did we always want to do in RStudio, but couldn't"?
Years of community upvotes on RStudio's issue tracker helped us form that wishlist. Here's how some big ideas made their way to Positron:

Earlier this year, I gave a keynote at posit::conf(2025).
It was meant to be a talk about Positron, but as I was writing it, it took a left turn through the history of RStudio and into the philosophy of tool design & how to build stuff for people.

Congrats @standardebooks on this milestone! (And on formatting the full text of Ulysses. Good heavens.)
If you've ever waded through 954 poorly formatted $0.99 copies of "public domain" works on Amazon, you know that this organization is doing the Lord's Work.

Buck up, baby blowfish. Just puff up bigger than your sadness and scare it right off. That's the only way to live in the awful old ocean.

While I identify as a Christian, I think the #HeGetsUs #SuperBowl ads were awful.
I don't think Jesus needs or wants our slick marketing campaigns. It cheapens the Man of Sorrows to put him on billboards and bumper stickers.
He isn't a product.
