Endorse! My studio was approximately two inches to the left of your screen, and the @ehess_fr / @amseaixmars lab at @vieillecharite another inch. Ahh those were them (twitter-free) days a quarter century ago ...

I am amazed by how great some student projects can turn out. The ggparty package is already better than what I had envisioned: a user friendly, flexible, and beautiful way to visualize trees.

Always begin a data science project by asking the right question. Namely,
“Why did I even bother getting out of bed this morning when I know the day will end in failure?”

Well put. I *really* don't want to hear from your f*@#ing spammy predatory journal. So into the spam-filter repo it goes. Sadly I only control spamassassin for the home email...

Neat idea -- for my STAT430 course I had contemplated the 'pick a CRAN package and make something better' route as well but feared it would be too demanding. Hence very interesting and encouraging to see that it works for you.
In each course I teach, I assign a term project, in groups of 3-4. The topic this quarter was to choose a CRAN package and improve its speed by converting parts to C/C++. Several were really excellent; I've chosen this one to display (with permission), tinyurl.com/yyzmm477

The new 'options("conflicts.policy"=....)' in the upcoming R 3.6.0 will be very useful -- and this write-up by @LukeTierney4 is something many of us may come back to a number if times (as the section in `help(library)` in R-devel is rather brief).
Excellent stuff.
