The purpose of this shiny app is to demonstrate how you could design a landing page in a shiny app where content is placed over a series of images arranged in a 2 x 2 layout. The motivation for this app was to answer this post on the rstudio community: https://community.rstudio.com/t/background-images-in-shiny/12261. Check out longer write up here: https://davidruvolo51.github.io/pages/shinytutorials/tutorials/landing-page.html.

You can run this app locally using the following methods: running within your R environment or cloning this subdirectory.

You can run this app within your R environment using the runGithub function. Enter the following command in the console.

shiny::runGitHub(username = "davidruvolo51", repo = "shinyAppTutorials", subdir = "shiny-landing-page")

You can clone the data editor subdirectory using git sparse-checkout.

git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/davidruvolo51/shinyAppTutorials
cd shinyAppTutorials
git sparse-checkout init --cone
git sparse-checkout set shiny-landing-page
