Nice one! Particular for the tinyverse.org focus of no dependency. Maybe a 'message of the day' alike feature would be better? Cache + regenerate if older than, say, 24 hours -- and otherwise cronjob it to avoid slowdown at startup?
Dep-free scriplet now in my .Rprofile to check status of my #rstats CRAN pkgs. Slows R startup a bit, but less disruptive than browseURL version. gist.github.com/brodieG/e60c…

I guess since this isn't going on CRAN, I can write to the filesystem! One slowdown a day is tolerable so I'll just do that (rather than mess with cron).

And now with cache. Time to do some code golf, function is getting big. gist.github.com/brodieG/e60c…

I like this tinyverse concept. Hadn't seen it before... #rdatatable might be one of the top examples for it.
