The package {manageR} contains a dashboard shiny app that give tools to freelancers to help with day to day management. So far, the app allows to organise data about clients, billing addresses, quotes and invoices. Users are able to print personalised pdf of quotes and invoices based on saved data.
As a freelance data analyst, I needed a tool to organise data about my clients and the services I offer. No softwares found on the web convinced me enough so I decided to build my own.
At the same time, I wanted to learn more about shiny app. As a big R user, I decided to give a try and here we are with this shiny app.
Be aware that this is an experimental project that matches my needs. Feel free to open issues and give constructive critisms on the app and the code itself.

Quotes and invoices are printed in PDF from a R Markdown file using CSS fo Paged Media. This was possible through the utilisation of two packages still in development :
-
{weasydoc} from @RLesur : a package using CSS for Paged Media converters (WeasyPrint, Prince) to convert R Markdown using CSS fo Paged Media to
PDF
