The following project was a second entry into the first R Studio table contest held in 2020.
I don’t even know where to start with this one. I was looking at creative uses of a table and I landed on the idea of using a table as a calendar.
At the same time, I was really into figuring out how to incorporate custom CSS into shiny. I had found this awesome 8-bit inspired CSS library and immediately wanted to use it. You can view it here.
Building on my previous experience of the reactable package (and custom JS), I kind of went HAM on this one:
In addition to the custom bezel, added animated gifs from the super mario games
Added (borrwed) JS code to give the particle effect of snow falling (it was December afterall!)
Using JS, set custom modals on certain dates to mimic the feel of a calendar invite in Outlook. These are also stylized to match the overall aesthetic.
