Date Countdown Apps using Shiny for Python
Personalized Event and Birthday Countdowns
Alright, let’s keep it short. Shiny for Python is a Python library that lets you build cool apps in Python. Shinylive lets you Shiny for Python apps entirely in the web browser. What’s nice is that you can even pull live data from your Google Spreadsheets that you’ve made public into your Shinylive apps.
Here are two examples (see repo link below). One’s a birthday countdown app with a slider for upcoming birthdays and a search bar to quickly find someone’s day. The other’s an event countdown app, listing what’s coming up and allowing event name searches.
