Spent a day recording videos for my "Toolbox CSS" course. All this stuff is online, so if you want to be taught web scraping and text mining by a 27-year-old with a Trainspotting haircut and a weird accent who religiously adheres to the tidyverse style guide, I've got you covered: bit.ly/tool-css - ThreadSky

Very cool, thanks for sharing! Is there a way to access this content without signing up for an account at bookdown?

felixlennert.bsky.social•428 days ago

I honestly have no idea. I set visibility to “everyone”, that’s as accessible as I can make it without hosting my own website AFAIK. However, I just use my google account for using bookdown which is probably as frictionless as it gets :-)

Quick update:

I just shoved your Bitly-URL through an URL resolver to see what it resolves to, and I think that's where your problem is — it resolves to a generic URL, and not to your documents.

Haha "everyone" – with a Google account :D

Can't you just download the Markdown source and just dump it into a GitHub repository? That would fully remove the barrier to just viewing the content! I'll give it a view later.

this is the setting I use:

And this is the full URL: https://bookdown.org/f_lennert/toolbox-quarto-book/ – it works fine for me.
The raw qmd files can be found in this Github repo: https://github.com/fellennert/toolbox-quarto-book

The full URL works perfectly fine, it was only the https://bit.ly-address that didn't work. Thanks!

This script has been evolving over the last couple of years and has served in one way or another to teach Bachelor's, Master's, and Graduate students at Leipzig University and the SICSS. Feel free to use it as you want. If there are errors or flaws – which is inevitable – please tell me.

Content note: some examples deal with abortion, a topic some may be sensitive to (if you feel the urge now to tell me that nobody needs content notes except for snowflakes, please don't). I used it since the debate around the topic in the US is a good example for "fighting words" (Monroe et al 2008)
