I think there's enough time after contest to review each submissions (almost 3 month), but Rstudio employ made mistakes hard to understand with this issue.
I don't know the exact situation whether
They didn't look submissions in detail. so they didn't detect.
Or they recommend to make plagiarism.
but all of them are really disappointing.
I should consider this copy-cat position in next year.
Yea I completely agree with you. When I first see the COVID19 material dashboard I realised it is copy of My covid 19 dashboard and see what that won....Hahahah...
@jhk0530 I vouch for @colin and confirm that he is one of the prominent members of the Shiny community. He has written Shiny (among others) books and has been teaching R and Shiny for several years. By the way, he is the author (him and his team) of the {golem} package, which is rapidly becoming a staple in the development of robust Shiny apps. If anyone has plagiarized some work in Shiny, he is more likely the victim and not the perpetrator.
I cannot read sarcasm or irony on such forums, sorry. Just to clear things up, my first commit was also on March 13th, while @shubhrampandey 's was at March 7th (corrected, sorry, looked at wrong page first). But I did not copy nor took any inspiration. There were already several boards out, such as the one from Johns Hopkins itself. This topic was too hot not to work on it
Hi All, this thread accuses people of unethical actions for which they definitely did not do.
I am going to hide this thread. (hiding a thread: it still survives, but won't appear in search or on the homepage).
I personally feel Mine justified well the selection of winners well with the blog post, but we'll take another look at how this was communicated. The selection of winners is understandably a challenging task, and may seem arbitrary. Sorry for any confusion in that process.
As a nice follow-up for a large group of people that submitted great apps, we'll invite you to join the showcase of shiny apps at shiny.rstudio.com/gallery. This will highlight your work on a highly visible forum, and hopefully help a lot of other people looking to learn about how to build great apps from your example.
