RStudio Addin? #249

Open HenrikBengtsson opened 5 years ago

HenrikBengtsson commented 5 years ago

After my talk at eRum 2018, at least two-three people told me they wanted me to add an RStudio Addin for help working with futures. Unfortunately, I didn't ask for the exact details on what this RStudio addin should do but only asked to bring this up on the issue tracker.

RStudio users out there, any thoughts/comments/ideas on this?

You may or may not find this useful but RStudio has a new Jobs window in its daily builds. I could see bits and pieces of this being useful in a future rstudio addin.

Agreed. If the jobs could be set up to execute on a remote machine, that would be a nice complimentary functionality.
