Rod GrahamA qualitative analysis package in R! My kingdom for a qualitative analysis package in R!
Jason Bryer@roderickgraham I have been working on a Shiny based qda package. #rstats https://github.com/jbryer/shinyqda
フラジークHladik・ラジムRadim@jbryer @roderickgraham That is so cool! We have been working on something similar in R/Shiny after RQDA's deprecation: https://github.com/RE-QDA/requal/wiki

What's amazing to me here is how a few hours of Googling could not get me to these packages.
@roderickgraham @jbryer @matherion Been there too... googling in vain and then finding something I need directly on GitHub. Also, e.g. with our package. we feel it still needs some work before it deserves any promotion. But if you want to give it a test ride sometime, feel free to DM me. I could set up a demo server instance for you - feedback is always appreciated.
Gjalt-Jorn Peters@roderickgraham @jbryer Thanks for the shout out @hlageek!
Well, our package mostly just implements the ROCK standard for storing coded qualitative data in a human- and machine-readable format. Although two amazing developers are quite far with building a fully-fledged GUI that also uses the ROCK. However, definitely without those fancy features you added @jbryer 🤩 That looks awesome!

I recently set up a MatterMost instance at https://sharing.opens.science (i.e. open source slack). Quala Lab (https://qualalab.org, ping @cnsyoung) already has some channels there.
Would it be worthwhile to also create a kind of network of "open source (and so open science) qual software developers"?
Then we'd have a place to discuss common issues we run into, work on interoperability, etc 🙂
And maybe create a website listing open source qual software 🙂
@matherion @roderickgraham @hlageek @cnsyoung I would be happy to be part of that conversation. Admittedly I don’t do much QDA myself but collaborate with colleagues who do and we have found the intersection of qda and quant methods (eg topic modeling, sentiment) to be interesting. I started ShinyQDA when the team was discussing software options and after seeing the costs I said I could build something. Few days later I had a working version but they have been very patient helping squash bugs.
@jbryer @roderickgraham @hlageek @cnsyoung
That sounds pretty awesome Jason!
I also remembered seeing {handcoderR} recently, and the maintainer is also here: @liserman
And then of course there are the developers of Taguette and QualCoder (e.g., @remram44, @VickyRampin, @ccurtain).
So now we're at {ShinyQDA}, {ReQual}, {handcoderR}, the {rock} package and Shiny ROCK apps in R; Taguette and QualCoder in Python (I think), and iROCK (Electron).
Quite some FLOSS QDA software 🤩

Ok, so I've been thinking about this a bit more, and I think it could be good to have a place where we could exchange experiences, spar about dilemmas we're encountering, trying to work towards interoperability between our tools, etc.
And since I run that MatterMost instance anyway, we could use that. I created a channel called QODERS (Qualitative Open software Developers Exchanging Resources & Skills) 😬
