4 months ago It was good to see the initial prototype of your shiny app. It gave me some ideas of what you are thinking.
I suspect that you could augment this main display with other features (e.g., length of sentences, number of sentences, sentiment of chapter) in a useful fashion. You could then have a second panel where you allow the user to pick two of those features to explore (in the same way that you let them explore proportion of part of speech vs. chapter number).
This also makes me wonder if you might let the user explore some LDA modeling at the chapter level in a separate panel. (Doing this could preclude having a report at all.)
Minor comment: you'll want to display some of the text (e.g., let a user view some of the text from a specified chapter) as well as add an "About" tab.
I understand that you have a big thesis deadline on Tuesday. I'd be glad to offer an extension on your first submission until the end of the day on Wednesday if that would be helpful. (We can talk in class.)
Minor point: I would encourage you to move the Shiny app to a new shiny folder to avoid this message when you run it:
Loading R/ subdirectory for Shiny application, but this directory appears to contain an R package. Sourcing files in R/ may cause unexpected behavior.
Would a Shiny app (or similar) be a useful way to show off the text and/or your analyses? I've opened this issue to explore what might make sense.
