Hi everyone,
I'd like to invite you to try my new R package,
[bughunter](https://github.com/Jiefei-Wang/bughunter), which I believe
could be extremely useful for this mailing list.
For a long time, I've noticed that many people struggle to describe
their bugs clearly when asking for help. One major reason is that we
lack an easy way to share the full debugging context, typically, only
the surface-level code can be shared, not the call frames or stack
information. This makes reproducing someone else's problem quite
painful.
The idea behind bughunter is to solve this pain point. It
automatically saves the call frames and code into a single object when
an error occurs. This object can then be saved and shared with others.
Moreover, the package provides a user-friendly Shiny interface for
debugging, designed to look and feel similar to RStudio - there's
virtually no learning curve.
The package is still in its early development phase, so any feedback
or suggestions are very welcome. I'm also exploring options for a free
cloud platform to host and share these R objects so that users won’t
need to email them manually. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear
them.
Best regards,
Jiefei
