Single-cell batch correction that learned to use cell labels, then spent three releases chasing Seurat.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of ojoregex and rempsyc — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Oklahoma's court-data nonprofit maintains the regex layer that turns charge text into categories.
ojoregex is Open Justice Oklahoma's pattern library for classifying criminal charge descriptions from court records — the unglamorous translation layer between free-text charge fields and analysable categories. Its entire release history reached this feed as four tags published within three minutes, so the feed order reflects a backfill rather than a shipping cadence. Release notes are merge references rather than descriptions, which limits how much can be read from the changelog alone.
Publication-ready psychology tables and plots, tracking APA style as closely as the software allows.
rempsyc produces APA-formatted tables and figures for psychology research — nice_table() for results tables, plus plotting helpers for scatter plots, violin plots, densities and simple slopes. Its releases are CRAN submissions that bundle a long run of development versions, so each entry reads as a digest rather than a single change. The most recent, 0.2.0, added point labelling and per-group correlation statistics to nice_scatter and fixed nice_lm() failing on factor covariates with more than two levels.

What the notes do show is a package alternating between domain corrections and R tooling upkeep: a fix to property-crime matching in one release, dplyr select semantics in the next. That is the expected shape for a regex catalogue — accuracy work arrives as individual charge types get miscategorised in real analyses, and the rest is keeping the package installable against a moving tidyverse. Contributions come from a small internal team, and the vignette work referenced in the earliest tag suggests the pattern list doubles as documentation for analysts.
The visible pattern is incremental match fixes as charge types surface in use; the release notes carry too little detail to predict anything beyond that without reading the underlying pull requests.

Two forces drive this package and neither is its own roadmap. The first is APA style: when the 7th edition advised against beta for standardized coefficients, the package switched its output to italic b with an asterisk. The second is the surrounding ecosystem — formatting is aligned to what lavaanExtra and afex produce, contrast handling was delegated to easystats' modelbased, and Excel correlation matrix export was handed entirely to the correlation package to cut maintenance.
The pattern of delegating functionality to specialist packages while keeping the formatting layer is well established and likely continues. Because releases bundle many small dev versions, the next one will probably again mix plotting refinements with fixes surfaced by upstream changes.
