A while back, I heard about Shiny Apps in R and thought it sounded like it might be nice to build one to show off my ‘lackluster’ R skills. One of the issues is that, most of the time, I’m working with data that I collected with co-authors and it isn’t really public / published. However, I have been following the Kickstarter for Wyrmwood’s Modular Gaming Table (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wyrmwood/modular-gaming-table) and when they started providing production numbers, I started capturing it and building models. Partly, this was an attempt to get a sense for when I should expect my table, and part of it was because I was building prediction models for another project and the smaller data from Wyrmwood was nicer than the other dataset I was working with.
Anyway, I made my models and just sort of sit on them and then thought, hey, maybe I’ll make one of those Shiny apps to visualize the data and make it interactive. The product is below. I’ve been messing with it a bit here and there but with only 10 data points and changes in processes in the production line, these predictions are incredibly out of date. But, I plan on making some modifications later on. I’d like to graph the original predictions, the new predictions that Wyrmwood stated they’d give out in July, build in some expectations for the new technology introduction, etc. but that will mostly require new data from Wyrmwood.
