Shiny is a package from RStudio that can be used to build interactive web apps with R.
You can host standalone apps on a webpage or embed them in R Markdown documents or build dashboards. You can also extend your Shiny apps with CSS themes, htmlwidgets, and JavaScript actions.
Shiny combines the computational power of R with the interactivity of the modern web.
Shiny apps are easy to write. No web development skills are required.
