Shiny apps are a great way to communicate your data science insights with striking, dynamic, interactive visualizations and reports. Over the years, we have loved interacting with the Shiny community and loved seeing and sharing all the exciting apps, dashboards, and interactive documents Shiny developers have produced. We also love seeing Shiny developers openly sharing their code and process for building apps so that others can learn from them and improve their apps. In order to encourage more sharing, as well as to recognize the many outstanding ways people work with Shiny, we are happy to announce the first contest to recognize outstanding Shiny applications!
Niiice! 've always wanted to learn Shiny, but I've never actually done it. This is the motivation I needed! I'm definitely not going to create an outstanding app, but I'll write at least a "good enough" app!
Great idea! My app uses the Google Maps API to get geospatial location information, but I don't want to share my Google API key publicly. What's the best way to publish the app code in RStudio Cloud without sharing the key? The app won't run without a key.
If you have a submission that requires credentials, I would recommend including all the necessary instructions for someone else reproducing your app to obtain an API key and where and how they should store it in their home directory so that when they make a copy of your RStudio Cloud space they get the code (but not your API key) but they can recreate your setup for reproducing your app.
Hello. I intend to submit my app next week. I am relatively new to this forum and do not have much prior activity. Can I request permission to post links and images too?
Looks like you're good to go. If anyone has trouble posting links or images, please feel free to contact me at @economicurtis or via community@rstudio.com.
