Building Accessible Lessons with R and Friends
summary
Replaces Jekyll with a modular R + Pandoc pipeline that separates tools from content and now builds more than 100 lessons for 5K+ daily learners; the Workbench is three packages (front-end orchestrator sandpaper serve, validator pegboard, theming varnish), embeds renv to lock package versions, generates pull request previews of rendered pages, and currently supports ~168 lessons for iterative development and peer review so lessons render reproducibly and accessibility checks run before merge.
