Sometimes it's nice to take a break from coding and stretch my marketing muscles a bit! It's really nice to reflect on how far statscloud.app has come and be able to showcase all of its unique features like this.

It was an honour to have been invited onto #Naturebang this week to discuss the psychology of power posing. This was a really fun interview! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

What shape does an anteater make when threatened? And is there real power in a power pose?

My latest blog post on how and why we added Bayesian tests to statscloud.app. TLDR: Honestly, I really struggled to understand Bayesian analyses at first, so we delivered this update to help all those who would similarly benefit from some extra guidance on running them. More in the blog post... 👀

I love this - this is exactly why we moved on from the "tick-box" interface used by previous stats software. Bayesian analysis can be super complicated, especially for newcomers, so explaining the output like this step-by-step is really beneficial.

🚨 This is not a drill! This is another landmark moment in StatsCloud's history and one I'm really pleased with. I hope many of you find this new addition useful.

I really enjoyed writing this blog post for the Applied Psychology Research group at @herts.ac.uk: I've always been fascinated by replication studies in psychology but have realised that they're not always as straightforward as they seem.. www.herts.ac.uk/research/cen...

Why do some psychology studies not replicate well?
In recent years, psychologists have been concerned about a “replication crisis”. However, are things really that bad or is there another reason why some findings do not replicate?

📢 Good news! We've revamped Principal Components Analysis so we now support more rotation methods and provide even more useful statistics in the output...

🎉 Big news! I know many people have been asking for this analysis to be added for a while now, so I'm delighted that it's now available. I believe this makes @statscloud.app the only statistics app that will let you calculate this stat on any device at any time for free...!

Our recent hike around South Wales took us to the stunning Sychryd (Pwll Berw) waterfall. Almost twisted an ankle taking this, but absolutely worth it!

This is why I love working in the UI/UX world. It's only a small thing, but I really enjoy bringing StatsCloud to life and making it more fun to use with little animations like this. I hope you like them! ☺️

This update has been about a year in the making so I'm really pleased to see it finally surface! This R integration means that anyone can now use an R-powered statistics app on any device at any time for free. I'm really proud that StatsCloud is leading the way on this.

Yeah, I probably would. Thanks, Facebook 👍

It's lovely to see some new followers on BlueSky! While you're here, please do check out @statscloud.bsky.social; our online stats package that's free and always available to everyone on any device :-)

Please don't give up on teaching students how to code. If you don't want to dive straight into using a terminal, this app might be exactly what you need. I cannot think of a better way of introducing someone to a statistical programming language than this! 😊

This is something I've wanted to see in statistics apps for ages: Generating a share link to a data set but with certain columns (with sensitive data) missing. This is hugely important when sharing data sets online, and I'm so proud that @statscloud.bsky.social is leading the way on this 🙂

Daniel Gurney @dan.media · 11/11/2024
I'm really happy with this talk! 🙂 This showcases everything we've been up to at @StatsCloud over the year and demonstrates some really powerful new features. It even has a sneak peak at our brand new 'analysis modules' feature coming soon... 👀

What a brilliant article. Well worth a read if you're as frustrated with YouTube ads as me: www.pcworld.com/article/2419...

YouTube's ads are horrible, and so is its treatment of both viewers and creators. I'm not paying for Premium, ever.

I had some fun redesigning this, but abandoned one version (with mountains) on the right. Now I'm looking at it again, it doesn't look that bad... 🫤 What do you think?

I really enjoyed writing this blog post, so forgive the overexcited tone. StatsCloud becoming fully extensible through R scripts, though? How is that not exciting!? 😄

Daniel Gurney @dan.media · 26/02/2024
Just look at this: You click a link, and a stats app loads up a project instantly with an R console ready to run all the code generated by it - on any device at any time. *This* is the future of stats software 🙂
