Hello,
The idea of 'Visual Abstracts' have recently become popular and are particularly efficient in distilling the main findings of original research.
I wanted to create an application that enabled users (or non programmers in general) to create nice visual summaries for their research projects they could share over social media. I've added a fair bit of control and customization in the application mostly related to layout to aesthetics.
Technical pieces:
-uses 'rintrojs' to orient users to the application
-combination of renderUI + ggplot2 are at the heart of the application
Here are the links to the project:
Rstudio Cloud deployment: https://rstudio.cloud/project/168943
Shinyapps deployment: https://matt-kumar.shinyapps.io/visabs
Here is a sample of what the App can do
Thank you for your considerations!
Best,
