A new way to build your Shiny app's UI
summary
Introduces gridlayout, an R package that maps an ASCII-style layout (grid_page, area strings) to CSS Grid and places components with grid_card/grid_card_plot, and cites a flexdashboard GitHub issue from May 2016 with 18 thumbs-up as motivation. Presents shinyuieditor, a drag‑and‑drop R package (launch_editor) that currently emits human‑readable Shiny code using gridlayout only, offers templates (e.g., chickweights), updates the preview live, and is alpha quality — the demo builds working apps but is not yet production‑ready.
