Empowering a data team with RStudio addins
summary
Shows concrete addins used internally to simplify work: a theme toggle implemented in three lines of R code that flips RStudio theme, a documentation bookmark opened with one-line viewer link, and rcrossref+citr addins that search DOIs and insert citations into R Markdown. Also demos DB-connection helpers using ODBC profiles, an addin that launches Octave in the RStudio terminal, and an r2cluster Shiny module saving credentials and sending prefilled commands to an HPC — all deployed and used successfully.
