I remember noticing somewhere that it was possible to embed a Shiny application into a webpage created via the R blogdown package. I thought it would be interesting to attempt to do this for a blog post.
In this post I’m going to explore the tigris and leaflet packages to make some maps. I live in Cook County, Illinois, and I thought it would be interesting to create a relatively granular map of the county.
