- New to R. Anyone have a go-to way to make a pretty descriptives table?

desctable has a website, and a new version!
The new API is not yet complete, but has feature parity with the old one, and will be further developed towards 1.0. (have a look at the roadmap on the github repo) desctable has now full support for purrr::map-like formulas when defining statistics and tests, and a easier to manipulate internal format. There's a new website at https://desctable.github.io, the repo has moved to it's own org (https://github.com/desctable/desctable), and new documentation and vignettes have been written!

[Q] 'pivot_longer' applied to an object of class "character"
Such a function wouldn't add anything that factor() or as.factor() don't already do, but the forcats tidyverse package does make it easier to work with factor variables afterwards: https://forcats.tidyverse.org/

This chart has the days of the week on the x-axis, but they are all over the place, starting with Sunday and then going to Wednesday. My table has the correct sequence of days. So why is this happening to me? :\
Turn weekdays to factors to have some control over order. https://forcats.tidyverse.org/ https://r4ds.had.co.nz/factors.html#modifying-factor-order

Frustration: One Year with R
This was fun to play around with. I made some very minor changes and posted at https://gist.github.com/hadley/d54895557fbb0fe0402d2277b9011....
It revealed to me that there's a buglet in `forcats::last()` (https://github.com/tidyverse/forcats/issues/303) and made me wonder if `pivot_longer()` should be able to rename the columns as you pivot them (https://github.com/tidyverse/tidyr/issues/1338)
What are some alternatives?
