Talk:Shiny (web framework)

Description of the shiny package

In the description pane of the page (blue rectangle on the right of the page), the information relates to shiny for python. However, shiny is both an R package with a GPL 3.0 license and a python framework with a MIT license. Furthermore, it is actually stated that Shiny is written using a combination of R and python. But as far as I know, it is combination of:

- R and web technologies for the R package (https://github.com/rstudio/shiny)
- R and web technologies for the python framework (https://github.com/posit-dev/py-shiny)

I must admit that I was looking up shiny online which evidently led me to wikipedia. I could be very wrong but my understanding of the shiny solution is different than what I understood from reading this page - specifically the information panel. 176.175.251.17 (talk) 09:55, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Add ShinyProxy as deployment option

• Specific text to be added or removed (to the "Deploying / hosting Shiny" section): shinyproxy.io: open source tool to deploy Shiny apps using containerization technology onto on-premise and cloud servers.
• Reason for the change: ShinyProxy is another tool used commonly for deploying Shiny apps.
• References supporting change: https://shinyproxy.io/
• COI: I work for the company developing ShinyProxy (as a developer of ShinyProxy). We would be very happy to have ShinyProxy included in the list, but we understand the COI and are open to any change w.r.t to the exact text. We can provide additional references (e.g. GitHub) if needed.

@LEDfan: Thanks for requesting, rather than editing the article directly. We need independent references rather than the company website. Here are a couple of possibilities. I'll try to add something next week, but ping me if I forget.

Hi @Smartse , did you perhaps have a moment to look a this? If not, no worries and we will be a bit more patient. Thanks again! LEDfan (talk) 11:58, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

@LEDfan: Thanks for the reminder and sorry about the delay. Done now. SmartSE (talk) 13:01, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
