This is a pretty niche post, but a couple years ago I briefly entertained a fantasy of becoming a novelist. After I tried to write a novel, my the wisdom of not quitting my day job was affirmed. But in the course of that, I briefly investigated software that novelists are using to organize their books and research. The most popular is called Scrivener. I was thinking though that it would be neat if someone would customize the R packages Markdown or Bookdown for writing, because then especially if you are writing non-fiction you could have all your data, analysis code, tables, figures, references etc. in one place along with your prose. This post describes a system that allows the author to actually combine the use of Scrivener and R Bookdown.
