<h2>Vote for the Winner of Appsilon's Internal Shiny Contest</h2> Election season has been stressful for everyone – this is your chance to vote on something a bit more light-hearted. <span data-preserver-spaces="true">At <a href="https://appsilon.com/shiny/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Appsilon</a>, we wanted to prove that with the <a href="https://appsilon.com/shiny-semantic-0-4-0-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>shiny.semantic</code></a> open-source package, it's possible to create a great looking and high-quality Proof of Concept Shiny app in one day. So, we recently ran an internal contest to see who could create the best <code>shiny.semantic</code> PoC in under 24 hours. <strong>You get to vote for the winner!</strong></span> <blockquote><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Which shiny.semantic PoC is your favorite? </span><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeeuzD76vVogyh9yFjcodCu0JiYrZsqFz_JmXJRDS7uqa2HUg/viewform" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">You can view the submissions and place your vote here.</span></a> As development time was very limited, please be advised that most of these apps are desktop only.</blockquote> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Here are the contest rules:</span> <ul><li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Participants must use the <a href="https://appsilon.com/shiny-semantic-0-4-0-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>shiny.semantic</code> R package</a></span></li><li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">PoC's must be built by a single person</span></li><li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Development time must not exceed 24 hours</span></li></ul> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">We've asked <a href="https://appsilon.com/appsilon-data-science-is-now-an-rstudio-full-service-certified-partner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our friends at RStudio</a> to choose the "Most Technically Impressive PoC" and the "Most Creatively Impressive PoC."
