What I Learned from Porting my Viral Website from .NET to {shiny} by Dr. Jacqueline Nolis. Visit https://rstats.ai/nyr/ to learn more. Abstract: In 2016 I created Tweet Mashup, a website that lets you combine the tweets of two different people. After spending a year making it in .NET, when I launched the site it became an immediate sensation and was mentioned in places like the Verge. Years later, I was getting more and more frustrated maintaining the F# code and decided to see if I could recreate it in Shiny. Doing so would require having Shiny integrate with the Twitter API in ways that hadn’t been done by anyone before. Could I pull it off? Come to this talk to find out!
