[Developer Issue]: investigate setting up codespaces that use RStudio IDE #541

Issue details

I added this to my to-do list over a month ago and have not yet done it, so want to bring it up either to de-prioritize or ask for help.

We could use this approach to set up a codespace that runs RStudio rather than vscode: https://github.com/revodavid/devcontainers-rstudio

There may be an easier way now, looking at the rocker images? I haven't tried it, though.

moved to parking lot - this should be easy to set up, but hasn't been requested

I was curious and tested this out: it's as easy as adding this line to the "features" section of the devcontainer json:

"ghcr.io/rocker-org/devcontainer-features/rstudio-server:0": {}

And then after rebuilding the container, you can type rserver into the command line to get an session going (opens on a port, that you can open as a separate browser window).
