Discover and install useful RStudio addins

Copyright 2016 Dean Attali. Licensed under the MIT license.

RStudio addins were released in early 2016 to provide anyone with the ability to add "extensions" to RStudio. This feature has quickly become popular, but discoverability was a problem: there's just no easy way to know what addins exist.

The addinslist package solves that problem in two ways:

• This package provides a continuously updated list of RStudio addins that you can browse through (below).

• After installing this package (install.packages('addinslist')), your RStudio will get populated with a new addin called "Browse RStudio addins". This addin allows you to interactively browse through the list of addins, see which ones you already have installed, and let you install/uninstall the corresponding package of each addin. The following image shows how to access this "addin of addins" in RStudio.
