The Power of Shiny

The first time I ever demoed shiny in particular at a user group meeting and I was super nervous and went a little overboard on having like lots of demos. And one of them, this is back in 2012, was charting the spread of AIDS throughout the world and showing the sort of levels rise and fall as time went on. A friend of mine who he didn't know what he worked on then came up and said, oh yeah, I'm working with shiny to basically be the bridge between the biosatisticians and the biologists. It's just 10X when you're building developer tools like that.
