But the results are 80% or 90% good enough for many use cases, and development and deployment costs are materially less than other options. And as they get more complicated, you start using more JavaScript, HTML and CSS anyway. They have an annoying habit of freezing and going grey on your users if something goes wrong with the connection. The server-client transfers can seem clunky (certainly compared to something written in pure JavaScript), particularly when you’re at the bottom of the world using a server in the USA. The modest trade-off in my view is in some small aspects of the eventual quality and performance. Usually it’s “cheap, quick, good - pick any two”. It’s rare to have so little trade-off between those three items of the project management dilemma. I think it’s fair to say New Zealand has been a leader in using Shiny for this.Īs a commissioner of several of those below and author of one, I can say the appeal of Shiny for this sort of public dissemination of data is the combination of cheap, quick and pretty good. All of these are owned and maintained by New Zealand government departments and have a main purpose as making public data more available and accessible for non-specialist users. Here’s fifteen nice web applications built with RStudio’s Shiny framework.
I had a brief look around New Zealand government agency websites and found 15 high quality web apps written in the Shiny platform.
