Repo

Shiny site

Hi @arsbar24 ,

• The link to the project in readme file does not work, you may want to update it with the shiny site one?

• It is very impressive that you choose to work with Trump's tweets and the app looks pretty good!

• Add a lot features into this Trump's Tweets app: have a link to your code, a checkbox for the plot of total tweets, and also the time range 'as.Date' looks fancy, user can sort most favourited or retweeted tweets with said words, and the density figure looks cool. Just the case sensitive is a little not user friendly, need to type in a bunch of | if wanna get a complete result.

• Overall, a very solid homework. Instead of BC alcohol, you worked with some new things and explore shinny app a lot through this progress. It seems like you understand the mechanics behind, which is important.

Best, Ziming

Thanks for bringing the dead link to my attention Ziming. I just updated the README with the live one to fix the problem (here). (This mistake was because I changed urls near the end of the project and forgot to update the README.)

Hi Alistair,

The shiny app ran well and it was really interesting to see that you chose to use data consisting of Trump’s tweets from the start of his candidacy until now. The app contained numerous features including the ability to select a time frame, choose words/phrases, choose labels for the phrases, and sort the tweets by either favourites or retweets. I found it particularly interesting the option to select a time range and to filter the results by certain words/phrases. The README.md file provides a detailed explanation of the purpose of the app and the functions and choices the user can select. Lastly, the reflection was good and provided a detailed account of certain challenges that were faced while completing the assignment. Overall, great work on this assignment and best of luck with the last two assignments.

Hi @arsbar24, here are some comments about your hw08:

App split into ui.R and server.R: Yes Deployed on shinyapps.io: Yes Repo has code and README: Yes Number of features implemented: A lot Progress report: Yes

• Good README which provides a good description of your Shiny app. However, I am not sure the exact number of features that you implemented because you did not describe them in your README (it looks like much more than the required 3 though)

• Very interesting idea for a Shiny app, I had a lot of fun playing with this!!

• Good implementation, although your ui.R file is a bit messy and needs some comments and spaces

• Good instructions on how to use the app. Although not necessary, it would be good to make your search function not case sensitive

• A suggestion would be to add a line (or an option for one) to mark the election date on the density plot.

• Nice idea with the density plot! It is nice to see which topics are tweeted about at which times

• Excellent work overall! The Shiny app was very well done and your sources were well documented. I could not find any major bugs in your app.

Your grade will be emailed to you at a later date.
