Integration with {surveydown}

[jhelvy]

I love what {shinysurveys} has started, and I wanted to see if there was a way to improve it by adopting a markdown-based interface. I wrote a blog post laying out what I have in mind for a different survey platform, one that uses just a collection of plain text files to define everything the respondent sees. My inspiration is {xaringan}, which uses RMarkdown files to generate HTML presentations.

I made a very basic prototype built on top of {shinysurveys}. It barely does much at all, but it at least demonstrates the possibility of building such a survey framework where simple markdown / files can be used to define a survey.

I don't know if this project is under active development anymore, but in case there is interest in extending it further I created this repo for my "{surveydown}" package idea. What you've started here looks quite promising to build upon.
