on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Company replaces static PDFs and PowerPoints with customer-facing apps built on RStudio Connect and R Markdown, embedding Shiny where needed, meeting five criteria: cheap (small business discount), easy to update, customizable, requires login, and retains IP. Repos are git organized, custom CSS/JavaScript get added iteratively, and teams can publish in minutes. Outcome is a working customer portal that delivers up-to-date data on demand, avoids vendor lock‑in, and scales to a separate front‑end later.
