First steps towards my first real R package (CC267)

[@linieffi8935]

Great to see you back (to microecology) ;-) and excited to follow this project. I kind of like the combination of your top 2 ideas - phylotypR.

[@NATS7599]

I care! Love the series idea...so happy you are back! Appreciate all the time that it takes to build the content!

Thanks! 🤓

[@stes5429]

That's a terrific project! Thanks!

[@Riffomonas]

Thanks! I’m petrified everyone will be too bored with the question 🤣

[@drjzee]

this is an excellent meditation on package naming, which is very hard to do yet important to get right, when one thinks of many commonly used bioinformatics packages they often have meaningful and catchy names...but this is challenging. quite like phylotype, only additional thought might be phylotype_r , which would be a nod to both R and to tidyverse, which presumably will be used extensively

[@Riffomonas]

Thanks! One catch that I may have forgotten to mention is that we can't use punctuation in package names. So unfortunately we can't use the underscore :(

[@ngn2]

What about "phyloprofiler"? 🤔
Thanks for sharing the journey with us!

[@Riffomonas]

Thanks! That’s a bit of a tongue twister 🤣

@@Riffomonas Another idea, "classiphyler" 😁

[@man_shooo]

How about classiphy or classiphyR or something like that

[@Riffomonas]

Hmmm. Interesting idea. Y’all are coming up with some good options

[@sven9r]

there is only one rule in naming an R package... it must contain a capital R :D

[@Riffomonas]

HA!
