Hi all! I made uvr and wanted to share a bit about it. I am a scientist and use R for projects. One thing that I have always felt has been harder in R compared to python was having a nice virtual environment that included control of the version of R. I started this project for myself to bring the same ease of use and power that uv enabled for python virtual environments directly to R

This ended up being embraced by some members of the R community who are contributing to it actively! If you want to check it out please let me know your feedback and contribute to it :) Thanks!
