Today I released stitch into the wild. If you haven’t yet, check out the examples page to see an example of what stitch does, and the Github repo for how to install. I’m using this post to explain why I wrote stitch, and some issues it tries to solve. Why knitr / knitpy / stitch / RMarkdown? Each of these tools or formats have the same high-level goal: produce reproducible, dynamic (to changes in the data) reports.
