Additionally, you will have the chance to win a one-hour consultation with one of Appsilon's Staff Engineers. Furthermore, all participants will receive guaranteed priority access to the PDF report created based on the survey results.  Estimated time to complete the form: 10 minutes; <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScj6CjGKWro_eN0ojwtvRfeB4NDAjukhz_SbULReZGYFWWRXA/viewform?fbzx=-7547967413324038533" target="_blank" rel="noopener">jump to the survey</a>. <h2>R Shiny's Growing Popularity</h2> With the increasing availability of data and the growing need for data-driven decision-making, the demand for interactive and engaging data visualization tools is on the rise. Shiny is well-positioned to meet this demand, thanks to its robust capabilities and strong community support. With that being said, there are opportunities to create, contribute, and support the R/Shiny communities. But we need your help to see what tools, resources, languages, and applications are being used across the board. <h2>Integrating Shiny with Other Toolkits and Resources</h2> Shiny's integration with proprietary software and a healthy ecosystem of open-source R packages makes it a powerful tool for data manipulation, visualization, and analysis. This integration allows for seamless data transformation and robust analytics, making Shiny an ideal choice for data scientists and analysts. Open source and community contributions, such as Appsilon’s <a href="https://rhinoverse.dev/#rhino" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rhinoverse</a>, are what help spur innovation and adoption of R and Shiny for industry and academia. By understanding the needs of the R community and Shiny user base, groups like the open-source Lab at Appsilon can generate tools that match those needs. <h2>What Does the State of Shiny Survey Mean for You?</h2> Your participation in the <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScj6CjGKWro_eN0ojwtvRfeB4NDAjukhz_SbULReZGYFWWRXA/viewform?fbzx=-7547967413324038533" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"State of Shiny 2023" survey</a> will help us develop a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by Shiny developers.
