A curated collection of Shiny tips, tricks, and design patterns by Dean Attali, with each tip accompanied by a complete functional Shiny app demonstrating a non-trivial task. It covers common problems like loading animations, hiding tabs, URL-based input pre-population, and splitting app code across files.

Use cases

• show a loading spinner while a shiny plot recalculates
• pre-populate shiny inputs from url parameters
• split a large shiny app across multiple files
• hide or disable shiny inputs programmatically
• show custom error messages when shiny outputs fail
• automatically stop a shiny app when the browser tab closes
• learn advanced shiny design patterns

When to choose

• you build R Shiny apps and hit common UI or UX problems
• you want working example apps demonstrating non-trivial Shiny techniques
• you are learning to push Shiny beyond basic usage

When to avoid

• you need a production library or package rather than example code
• you are not using R or Shiny
• you need officially supported documentation instead of community tips
