Mission

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. None of our provided services host any of the packages. The only mission of this application is to make R-packages hosted on CRAN easier to find and better to read. CRAN/E services only store metadata associated to the packages for the purpose of searching and displaying information.

Tom

Our names are Lukas and Tom and we're two developers from Austria. Our passion for coding (the one in R, the other in TypeScript) led us to the discovery of the original CRAN-site. Seeing the desperate visual state the site was in, we decided to give it a facelift. We're not affiliated with CRAN or RStudio in any way. CRAN/E is the culmination of our efforts to make the site more modern and user-friendly and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Our main focus was ease of use and accessibility, especially for lightning fast searches.

Analytics

CRAN/E uses plausible.io for a privacy-friendly, non-invasive way to collect some basic usage data of this PWA. This analytics service is hosted in the EU and doesn't collect any personal identifiable data. This is also the reason why you don't see a cookie-banner - we simply don't need consent for data we never collect in the first place. You can opt-out of those basic analytics by clicking the button below. Please note that we only collect anonymous core web vitals data and no personal identifiable data. This means that we can't identify you in any way. Your opt-out will be stored in your browser's local storage.
