CRAN/E
The Comprehensive R Archive Network, Enhanced
SvelteKitSvelteTypescriptPWANode.jsVercel
CRAN/E is a modern PWA (Progressive Web App) that serves as a search engine and information display for packages hosted on CRAN. CRAN/E means 'The Comprehensive R Archive Network, Enhanced' and aims at finding R-packages as fast as possible.
Motivation
The official CRAN is in a desperate visual state. Although it's using a very simple structure and basically no potentially distracting styling, using the original site is hard for a few reasons:
- no search interface
- all packages in the overview get loaded at once
- using outdated and deprecated technology, such as
<frameset>
Therefore we decided to develop a new user interface with search capabilities, that's working on all screen classes using state-of-the-art APIs.
