# Shiny Gates
Shiny Gates is a sample [Shiny Server][shiny] web application written for a session at the 2016 [Do Good Data][do-good] conference. The app enables users to browse [Gates Foundation][gates] grant amounts by duration and region. You can view a [hosted version of this application here][app].
This application is meant for learning purposes, do with it what you wish.
## Running the app
To start the application, open either the `server.R` or `ui.R` file in RStudio and press the "Run App" button.
## Dependencies
The app depends on the following packages. You can download packages in R with `install.packages("name_of_package")`.
- shiny
- dplyr
- ggplot2
- tidyr
## Where the data comes from
The data was pulled from the [Glasspockets][glass] API using an [R Glasspockets API wrapper][wrapper]. The data pulled from Glasspockets was lightly massaged to better conform to the app's needs.
