Interactive data explorer built with Shiny that combines an interactive table, map and line charts, reactive filters and dynamic titles, plus landing, About and methodology pages; implements sub-URLs so each page has its own address and browser history, uses Shiny bookmarking to encode exact app state into shareable URLs, relies on CSS to make the UI feel like a full website, and is scaled for public use by hosting on Connect—the site works and invites nontechnical users to explore and share findings.
