Thank you so much for building and maintaining this!

I'm wondering if CRAN submission is on the roadmap.

And if you intend to make a reference website as well. Often handy for quickly sending around the function documentation.

Also wondering how we should think about this package in contrast with irudnyts's package?

Thank you 🙏

Hi Kene, these are great questions. My original intent was a personal package for myself to generate OpenAI API functions as they came out with more functionality. This has worked surprisingly well since day 1 (I'm curious if you noticed it was doing that). Do you use this package often? Do you use this over the other openai packages? If so, why? I exclusively use this package to interact with the openai api but I'm biased :)

I created the addins before GitHub Copilot was included in RStudio, but I still enjoy tinkering with them. I now use GitHub Copilot in RStudio as my main helper, but I am still exploring letting GPT4 be an agent in RStudio. Admittedly this isn't a great idea, but there's something very powerful about telling RStudio to do something, and having it automatically do it. I'm currently playing with vision capabilities and they are cool!

The other openai packages have better support and collaboration going on for sure, but if you think this package has potential where those don't, then I'm definitely open to building out this package in a more robust way.
