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.
This package solves that problem in two ways. First, it provides a continuously updated list of RStudio addins that you can browse through (below). Also, if you install 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.
If you made a useful RStudio addin, feel free to make a pull request on GitHub to add it to the list.
