We've just started using the server bookmarking state available in RStudio Connect - that is, saving the application state (and key variables) to a folder on the server rather than encoding into the URL.
It's great - works well and gives us huge flexibility.
But there are two features that would improve this:
- Ability to retrieve bookmark information from R
- Ability to manage (delete) bookmarks
Why:
-
It would be great to build a table of bookmarks for a given app and include this within the app - with key details for each bookmark. This would allow the users to view existing bookmarks, which are easily lost and give quick links back to app states
-
Bookmarks which include large data frames / input files take up a non-trivial amount of space. This could quickly grow out of control.
Any thoughts on how the above could be achieved?
Thanks!
