Containing code snippets for niche topics, workflows and common design patterns.

Check out the RshinyHelpers package for #rstats users that accumulates shiny functions and css helpers that I use only once or twice per shiny app. Also contains misc data functions that I find intuitive but don't fit any tidy workflow.

It is not available on CRAN. Install using
devtools
if(!require(devtools)) install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('aarong1/RshinyHelpers')and attach the package into global namespace
library(RShinyHelpers)Not really being a developer, extensive use of static rendered sites helped for web apps and documentation. They were really easy to use with a low overhead, to both simplify html, js interactivity, and in deployment to Github Pages and Netlify. Full credit goes to the maintainers of the Hugo Themes
Hugo and GatsbyJS were popular options and would recommend either, both having a selection of theming options out of the box.
Gatsby in particular had a steep learning curve, being based on reactjs, but had the greatest reward.
