Introduction

Shiny is a platform that allows you to make browser-based apps from Python or R-code. Which can be very useful for interactive data visualization / reporting for instance.

Shiny apps can be run locally if you have the required packages/libraries installed, or can be hosted on a server to be accessible for anyone.

Availability, Support and Use-case

Currently SOLO has a (limited) license for a Shiny Cloud server. This is explicitly not suitable for any type of sensitive / personal (i.e. not fully anonymized) data. If you are interested in using this please contact labsupport@fsw.leidenuniv.nl

If you do wish to use sensitive data in combination with Shiny, please contact us as well, if there is enough demand we will setup a Shiny server hosted by Leiden University.
