This is a Shiny app to analyze what github repos are hot.
It looks at the top 100 starred repos by language and allows you to drill down to the repo and homepage.
This is intended as a demo of Shiny and rCharts functionality that I find useful.
- A great NVD3 scatter chart made with rCharts
- Fitlers that affect the chart and table
- Tooltips
- Links for drilling down
- Help modal
- Feedback email button
- Much more
The App is here

Some of the business value of an app like this is explained in this presentation.

I used google big query to get the github data. I provided it here in /data.
You can see how I got the data in /cron/get_data.R.
The queries are in /lib.
