I built an R Shiny app that let people know where I was when I was travelling around Europe in Summer 2017. You can view the app here.
I used Excel and VLOOKUPs to create a .csv file with the date and location latitude and longitude. This became the data source for the app.
To set up the app, browse to where you would like to keep your code locally, then run the following in your terminal.
git clone [email protected]:invinceyble/where-is.git
R -e "shiny::runApp('app.R')"
To customise the data to yours, copy the file data/data.csv and edit each of the columns:
| date | country | city | lat | long |
|---|
Then run the app in R or RStudio.
There's a few ways to deploy the app online. I recommend using shinyapps.io.
