gridify vs OneSampleMR
A side-by-side editorial comparison of gridify and OneSampleMR — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
gridify vs OneSampleMR: at a glance
What is gridify?
gridify adds table pagination, the one visible feature in a single-release window.
gridify arranges plots and tables into layouts with headers and footers in R. Only one release is visible — 0.7.5 — carrying table pagination plus repository housekeeping in the form of an issue template and badges. The changelog is a pull-request list rather than written notes, so detail is thin.
What is OneSampleMR?
OneSampleMR found that argument order in a formula was silently changing its estimates
OneSampleMR implements one-sample Mendelian randomization estimators — two-stage predictor substitution, two-stage residual inclusion, and Sanderson-Windmeijer conditional F statistics for instrument strength. The package spent its first years on packaging and dependency upkeep. The 2026 releases turn to substance: broader support for models fitted elsewhere, then a correctness fix for a defect that depended on nothing more than where covariates appeared in a formula.

gridify

gridify adds table pagination, the one visible feature in a single-release window.
◆ Current state
gridify arranges plots and tables into layouts with headers and footers in R. Only one release is visible — 0.7.5 — carrying table pagination plus repository housekeeping in the form of an issue template and badges. The changelog is a pull-request list rather than written notes, so detail is thin.
◆ Where it's heading
With one entry to read, direction can only be inferred from what it contains: pagination points the package toward long tables that do not fit a single output page, which is a reporting concern rather than a plotting one. Contributions come from a small named group. There is not enough history here to say whether that reporting emphasis is a trend.
◆ Prediction
Pagination usually pulls page-level controls behind it — repeating headers, row-count control — but the single entry available does not confirm any of that is planned.

OneSampleMR found that argument order in a formula was silently changing its estimates
◆ Current state
OneSampleMR implements one-sample Mendelian randomization estimators — two-stage predictor substitution, two-stage residual inclusion, and Sanderson-Windmeijer conditional F statistics for instrument strength. The package spent its first years on packaging and dependency upkeep. The 2026 releases turn to substance: broader support for models fitted elsewhere, then a correctness fix for a defect that depended on nothing more than where covariates appeared in a formula.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads. The first is reach — fsw() now reads models fitted by AER::ivreg(), estimatr::iv_robust() and fixest::feols() in addition to ivreg::ivreg(), which makes conditional F statistics available without refitting in the package's own idiom. The second is hardening: clear errors when more than one exposure is given or when a variable collides with the reserved name y, and print methods that no longer fail on user-specified t0 with log or logit links. Both come largely from user reports rather than a plan.
◆ Prediction
The estimator-support work has been adding one IV-fitting package at a time on outside contributions, so further backends are the likeliest next content — the package's own estimators have been stable since first release.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between gridify and OneSampleMR?
They serve adjacent needs but don't currently overlap on shipped themes. gridify and OneSampleMR are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band). See the at-a-glance table above for a side-by-side breakdown of velocity, recent sparks, and editorial themes.
Is gridify better than OneSampleMR?
Sparkpulse doesn't pick a winner — we score release velocity, not feature parity. gridify and OneSampleMR are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band).
