ShinyUiEditor: From Alpha to Powerful Shiny App Development Tool
summary
A drag‑and‑drop Shiny UI editor moves from alpha to usable: creates UI files via an RStudio addin or VSCode extension, writes a runnable template in seconds, and hooked a Quarto plot/table into server code by clicking show in server or using generate server code to scaffold renderers; input IDs paste into a reactive data call so the preview updates. Works end‑to‑end in ~15 minutes but currently supports only specific layouts like grid layout and has a minimal Python/PyShiny port.
