This is awesome.
Im just starting up my own academic lab and I was thinking of maybe building all my writing needs on Quarto. Currently I heavily use Overleaf and Google docs for my writing needs (manuscripts, grant applications etc.). Cloud solutions makes my life easier when traveling etc. because I can always access and share easily.

Do you know if a Quarto cloud solution is in the making?

I enjoyed reading this. As a newcomer to the RStudio IDE, markdown, and now Quarto, I'm trying to learn as useful tools before spending too much time on methods that a less worthwhile.

Alison, many thanks for a helpful post.

I have ported my blog from distill to quarto and am really happy with the result. With a bug fix, quarto was able to construct the RSS full feed XML file that allowed me to be picked up by R-bloggers. Something I had tried, on and off, to accomplish for quite some time now.

I appreciate the care that went into designing quarto---it makes so many things so much easier. Thanks!

Hi Alison, Quatro sounds wonderful! I just had a few questions/comments. (1) Is it possible to customise the date element for blogs so that it includes date and time of publication? (2) Is it possible to do the same for "last updated"? In fact, is it possible to display "last updated" front and centre alongside the publication date? I can envisage circumstances where that would be useful.

As soon as Quarto hit my Medium feed, I grabbed it with both hands. To experiment, I created a document both as html and Word for a colleague who is starting to learn to code in R and found it was fabulous!! It was so easy to build a beautiful and useful document. I'm now in the process of changing all of my spreadsheet reports over to html based reports so I can just update the reference point and go.

Great post! I read it several times.

I'm thinking about moving from Rmd files to qmd files in my blogdown (I use Hugo Apero), but ::: {.panel-tabset} isn't working on hugo pages.

Also, I don't like the white background for the code chunks.

Is there any way to solve these problems?

Thank you for a great post. I think this is where I first learned about Quarto. Finally tried it. My most important use case is presentations. First I wasn't too happy about Quarto, because I had just started out converting my Powerpoint slides to Xaringan. Luckily, the switch from Xaringan to Quarto is a breeze.

This post (and a few others) inspired me to a video. Resources are credited in the description and on the penultimate slide.
