adding a Julia httr2 analog to Tidier?

[cecoeco]

I recently came across the Tidier ecosystem. I think it's a great idea and would like to contribute. I am interested in web dev, so if a julia translation of httr2 would be beneficial to tidier i can start that. My first thought would be using HTTP.jl as a backend.

Thanks @cecoeco! I love this suggestion.

While httr2 is technically not part of the tidyverse ecosystem, it is part of the r-lib ecosystem, which comes from RStudio/Posit and still (in my opinion) uses tidy principles to address non-data-frame tasks.

I'd be okay with adding this to the Tidier ecosystem, but let me ask in the Julia #tidier Slack channel to see what others think. Feel free to join us there.

In terms of how to get started, my suggestion would be to work on getting something off the ground on your personal GitHub account. Once it has an initial set of functionality, we would then (assuming the group agrees) move this into the TidierOrg account, add you as a member, and make you an admin for the repo. At that point, we may also have discussions related to naming scheme. We will often diverge from the R package naming scheme in favor of names that are more self-explanatory (with TidierVest being an exception).

Sounds great. I just joined the slack as well.

@kdpsingh How much functionality should I aim for before "https://github.com/cecoeco/HTTR.jl" is added? I have a good amount of functions that work but need to test them out more. And for names I wonder if something like TidierRequests or TidierHTTP works, although I am fine with whatever the team chooses. I do not have a strong preference for the name.
