How to Make Shiny Dashboards Look Great

Have you ever wanted to create a dashboard that is both beautiful and user-friendly, but failed completely? We’ve all been there, and we’ve all seen our fair share of hideous-looking dashboards. In this video, Pedro Silva from Appsilon walks you through the basics of dashboard User Interface. Pedro explains why UI is important, what you should pay attention to when creating a web app or Shiny dashboard, and (most importantly) what kinds of tools will make your Shiny apps look professional: shinydashboard, shiny.semantic, HTMLWidgets, CSS, JavaScript, and more.
