RStudio addins were released in early 2016 and many useRs immediately began writing addins. However, one of the main probelms with addins is discoverability: there's just no easy way to find available addins. Whether you want to know what's out there to see if any addins are useful to you, or if you just want to see examples of addins in order to learn how to develop one yourself, it's hard to merely discover what addins exist. This package attempts to solve that problem.
This README provides a continuously updated list of RStudio addins (just below). If you install the addinslist package, you will have an addin added to your RStudio called "Browse RStudio addins" which will allow you to interactively browse through the list of addins below, see which ones you already have installed, and let you install/uninstall the corresponding package of each addin.
If you made a useful RStudio addin, feel free to make a pull request to add it to the list.
