Robert is going to demonstrate tools used to build automated workflow (plumber, Markdown, GitHub actions) together with R Shiny interface allowing non-technical users to produce reports.

Discussion is touching on how to use Shiny apps for storytelling, and how to promote reproducibility, for example through bookmarkable state in Shiny.

Benefits of this type of Shiny app: transparent data and visualisations really useful for local authorities. Also potential for increasing reproducibility to be as useful as possible for different user groups.
