How to Build Shiny Apps People Actually Use

One of the most frustrating feelings for a Shiny app developer is to spend a tremendous amount of time on an app and then get an email from your stakeholder with a request like "Can we move a dialogue box slightly to the left" or "Can we make this blue box more cerulean?" It's best to deal with these picayune requests earlier during the requirements process so you can spend the majority of your time coding and not UX designing. Nate Mockler will go over how to easily create wireframes of your shiny app during the requirements process without becoming a UX designer.
