Today (2017-06-04) I'm at the UseR conference in Brussels, and I see a lot of useful packages and workflows.
However, there is not just useful packages. In here I would like to create a list of packages that should exist, but don't.
Want to contribute? Modify the readme on github and send a pull request. Or send me a message on twitter at @rmhoge Preferably in the following way: dash (-) name of the package colon(:) explanation in a few lines.
- elevatoR; a package that controls elevators [I stole this from chapter 40 of A Dr. Primestein Adventure™ The Day the Priming Stopped. ]
- TastR: create balanced food or drinks tasting experiments for party or serious study.
- witchcraft / bewitcher: -
- stereotypR : classifies people by their stance. is it already done? a motion capture package

- bigmother: a package that keeps track of when you are coding, it will give you passive aggresive remarks such as: " really, it is way to late to be behind your computer, go to sleep" and "10 o clock starting? that is a tad late, isn't it?"
