Shiny Gates is a sample Shiny Server web application written for a session at the 2016 Do Good Data conference. The app enables users to browse Gates Foundation grant amounts by duration and region. You can view a hosted version of this application here.
This application is meant for learning purposes, do with it what you wish.
To start the application, open either the server.R or ui.R file in RStudio and press the "Run App" button.
The app depends on the following packages. You can download packages in R with install.packages("name_of_package").
- shiny
- dplyr
- ggplot2
- tidyr
The data was pulled from the Glasspockets API using an R Glasspockets API wrapper. The data pulled from Glasspockets was lightly massaged to better conform to the app's needs.
