Shiny Insights

What is Shiny?

Shiny is an open-source R package that provides a framework for building interactive web applications directly from R. It allows users to turn their R analyses into interactive web applications without requiring extensive web development skills. Shiny apps are commonly used for creating dashboards, data visualizations, and interactive reports, making it easier to share data insights and analysis results with a wider audience.
