shiny Getting started with shiny When would I use shiny?

Example

1. I have some data analysis done on some data and have many 'non-coding' people on the team, who have similar data like mine, and have similar analysis requirements. In such cases, I can build a web application with shiny, which takes in user specific input data files, and generate analyses.
2. I need to share analyzed data or relevant plots with others in the team. Shiny web apps can be useful in such situations.
3. I don't have significant experience with web application programming, but need to quickly assemble a simple interface. Shiny to the rescue with easy UI and server elements and minimum coding.
4. Interactive elements allow your users to explore what element of the data is relevant to them. For example, you could have data for the whole company loaded, but have a dropdown per department like "Sales", "Production", "Finance" that can summarise the data the way the users want to view it. The alternative would be producing a huge report pack with analyses for each department, but they only read their chapter and the total.
