System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Create release blog posts for R/Python packages by transforming NEWS/changelog content into platform-ready posts that follow Tidyverse (hugodown) or Shiny (Quarto) conventions. This tool also automates acknowledgments by generating contributor lists and ensures proper frontmatter and formatting across platforms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates extraction of release notes from NEWS.md, CHANGELOG, or similar sources and converts them into structured post sections.
  • Supports both Tidyverse hugodown and Shiny Quarto formatting with optional images and social media metadata.
  • Generates a complete Acknowledgements section using contributor scripts and facilitates easy cross-posts when releasing to multiple languages.
  • Use cases include creating package release posts for CRAN or GitHub releases, Shiny app/module announcements, and cross-platform blog communications.

Quick Start

Provide a complete release blog post for a given package version following the platform guidelines and formatting rules.
