inti vs projoint: at a glance
What is inti?
inti keeps compounding small statistics and publishing tools for plant-science labs.
inti bundles the tooling a plant-science lab uses end to end: the Yupana analysis app, the Tarpuy experiment planner, scihub and rticle document rendering, and helpers for ANOVA and heritability. The 0.7.x line has been dominated by one thread, a PCA sub-module in Yupana carrying variable contribution, dimension correlation, supplementary variables and per-dimension selection. Releases are cumulative: 0.7.0, 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 all restate the same PCA lines, with each tag adding a few items on top, and 0.7.0 itself is split across two tags published 35 seconds apart.
What is projoint?
projoint spent a year on CRAN paperwork, then shipped a correctness fix it flagged itself.
projoint is an R package for analysing conjoint survey experiments, covering Qualtrics import, reshaping, and quantity-of-interest estimation with inter-rater reliability correction. Most of its release history is CRAN admission work — citation formats, DESCRIPTION fields, \value{} tags, vignette cleanups — with four tags backfilled within ninety seconds of each other on 15 July in non-monotonic version order, so neither tag order nor timestamps in this feed track the real sequence. The substantive releases are the ones fixing data-preparation bugs that silently corrupt estimates.

inti keeps compounding small statistics and publishing tools for plant-science labs.
◆ Current state
inti bundles the tooling a plant-science lab uses end to end: the Yupana analysis app, the Tarpuy experiment planner, scihub and rticle document rendering, and helpers for ANOVA and heritability. The 0.7.x line has been dominated by one thread, a PCA sub-module in Yupana carrying variable contribution, dimension correlation, supplementary variables and per-dimension selection. Releases are cumulative: 0.7.0, 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 all restate the same PCA lines, with each tag adding a few items on top, and 0.7.0 itself is split across two tags published 35 seconds apart.
◆ Where it's heading
Two axes are moving. Analysis is deepening inside Yupana, where PCA went from a single view to a sub-module with its own contribution and correlation outputs across three tags. Publishing is widening around rticle() and scihub(), which now handle Google Docs markdown, crossrefs and page numbers, continuing the gdocs2qmd work from the 0.6 line. Neither is a change of direction; the package accretes features where the maintainer's own research workflow needs them.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next tag to extend the PCA sub-module again and add another rticle() or scihub() rendering detail, on the two-to-six-week cadence the 0.7 line has held.
projoint
2.5INFRA · APIS
projoint spent a year on CRAN paperwork, then shipped a correctness fix it flagged itself.
◆ Current state
projoint is an R package for analysing conjoint survey experiments, covering Qualtrics import, reshaping, and quantity-of-interest estimation with inter-rater reliability correction. Most of its release history is CRAN admission work — citation formats, DESCRIPTION fields, \value{} tags, vignette cleanups — with four tags backfilled within ninety seconds of each other on 15 July in non-monotonic version order, so neither tag order nor timestamps in this feed track the real sequence. The substantive releases are the ones fixing data-preparation bugs that silently corrupt estimates.
◆ Where it's heading
The maintainer is hardening the path from raw Qualtrics export to estimate, which is where conjoint analysis quietly goes wrong. Three separate releases fix that path: dropped respondent-level weights in organize_data(), repeated-task reshaping in reshape_projoint(), and choice-to-profile mapping in 1.1.3. Each fix now arrives with regression tests and stricter validation rather than just a patch, and 1.1.3 adds an explicit .choice_map so the mapping is auditable instead of inferred.
◆ Prediction
Expect the validation-and-regression-test pattern to keep extending across the import path, with releases continuing to arrive in bursts around CRAN submission rather than on a cadence.
