R packages
I am developing specialized software for users who work exclusively with the R programming language. I still have a lot to learn, so at first I expect to publish data packages I also have some good ideas for more complex packages, but I plan to work on those in 2026… 😀

Data analysis requires data. However, it is rare that everything we want is freely available and organized. So we have to extract the necessary information from various sources.

You can also read the corresponding article for more technical details.
