This project structures the data analysis process, reducing the amount of time you'll spend setting up and maintaining a project. Essentially, it's an \"opinionated framework\" like Django, Ruby on Rails or React, but for data journalism. Broadly, startr does a few things: Standardizes your projects : Eliminates the need to think about project structure so you can focus on the analysis. Breaks analysis into discrete steps : Supports a flexible analysis workflow with clearly-defined steps which can be shared easily across a team. Helps you catch mistakes : With structure and workflow baked in, you can focus on writing analysis code, reducing the opportunities for mistakes. Bakes in flexibility : Has a format that works for both large (multi-month) and small (single-day) projects. De-clutters your code : Improves the painstaking data verification/fact-checking process by cutting down on spaghetti code. Improves communication : Documents the analysis steps and questions to be answered for large, multi-disciplinary teams (say, developers, data journalists and traditional reporters). Simplifies the generation of charts and reports : Generates easily updatable RMarkdown reports, Adobe Illustrator-ready graphics, and datasets during analysis.
