shinyGovStyle- accessible gov design in RShiny

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

shinyGovstyle brings GOV.UK frontend CSS into R Shiny, letting analysts build production-ready dashboards in hours (not weeks) and is used across departments including education, tax, health and environment. It enforces accessibility: high-contrast focus styles, a link helper that errors on "click here" link text, warns on links under seven characters and inserts a hidden opens in new tab screen-reader notice. It also adds styled reactable tables with accessible sorting indicators and color hover states, and is maintained by volunteer contributors via GitHub.
