A quick #rstats technote about some cool recent additions to R-universe:
1. Social media cards that actually look good
2. PACKAGES.rds support (or: implementing R internals in JavaScript)
3. Fancy sort/filter bars in the WebUI
4. triggering a sync manually
5. Making check results easier to find

R-universe now generates social media preview cards for each package, like this one: ropensci.r-universe.dev/targets. You can also get the card manually from the /{package}/card.png API (or svg).

R-Universe by @rOpenSci is an extremely useful project.
My latest R package, {pmtiles}, is not a good fit for CRAN as it bundles a pre-compiled Go library.
With R-Universe, I was able to get installable cross-platform binaries built in hours!
