Shiny App or Dashboard - R

Question

Which to go for to display R plots and operations - Shiny App or Dashboard? What is the difference between them?

Answer 1

@Ruchitha,

As the name says, the shiny app creates web apps and shiny dashboard creates dashboards, It is quite direct to choose between either. One drawback of a shiny app is you cant add a lot of visualizations in one tab, you need to create multiple tabs. If you choose shiny app, then you can add R plots and visualizations in web apps. The dashboard is a completely separate topic from apps.
