If you're an R developer building Shiny dashboards, you're sitting on a massive untapped opportunity.

The problem: Your dashboards are trapped in browser tabs. Clients have to remember URLs, deal with slow mobile loads, and can't get push notifications.

The solution: Wrap your Shiny app in a native mobile app using Expo EAS and deploy to the App Store and Play Store.

What Changes When Your Dashboard Becomes an App

• Push notifications when data thresholds are hit

• Offline caching — dashboards load instantly

• Biometric auth for sensitive data

• Home screen icon — one tap away

• OTA updates — push JS changes in seconds, skip app store review

The Tech Stack

R Shiny (dashboard) → react-native-webview (bridge) → Expo EAS (build/deploy)

It's simpler than you think. If you can build a Shiny app, you can ship a mobile app.
