Our Open Source Story
AthlyticZ Proudly Funded the Rebuild of shinyMobile v2
Responsive, mobile-first frameworks are becoming essential for data teams building iOS and Android experiences. We believed in that future — so we invested in it.
AthlyticZ funded the complete redevelopment of shinyMobile under the updated Framework7 infrastructure. Dr. David Granjon — the original creator and author of Outstanding User Interfaces with Shiny — led the architecture. Veerle Eeftink - van Leemput co-developed v2 alongside David, bringing her production engineering expertise to every component.
The result: a state-of-the-art mobile framework for R — with modern navigation, touch-first components, PWA support, and the polish employers expect from production apps. The tools you learn in this course are the very ones we invested in to advance the Shiny ecosystem.
Layouts break, elements feel cramped, and users bounce before they get value.
Native-like polish
Framework7 patterns, touch-friendly components, and motion that feels at home on iOS and Android.
Ad-hoc JS/CSS that cannot scale
One-off snippets accumulate. No bundling, no versioning, no repeatable module pattern.
Production pipelines
Modular JS/CSS, npm bundling, CI/CD hooks, and package-level components you can reuse.
"It works locally" but stalls in deployment
No PWA plan, asset strategy, or app-store prep. Performance regresses under load.
Deployed with confidence
Installable PWAs, caching strategy, secrets management, and real app store distribution.

Why Mobile Matters
Employers Want Apps That Work Everywhere
Data teams that can only ship desktop dashboards are leaving impact on the table. Executives, coaches, analysts, and field workers need data on their phones — not at their desks. This phase teaches you why mobile-first thinking changes everything about how stakeholders experience your work.

The Story Behind the Code
You Are Learning From the People Who Built It
This is not a third-party tutorial. AthlyticZ funded shinyMobile v2. Veerle co-developed it. David created it. Every lesson reflects the decisions and trade-offs the actual developers made — giving you architectural insight no other course can offer.

Combine ProductioniZing Shiny Apps + CustomiZing WidgetZ + Mobile StructureZ into one bundle and save. Master production architecture, custom widget development, AND mobile app deployment.
ProductioniZing teaches production Shiny app architecture. CustomiZing teaches custom widget development. Mobile StructureZ focuses specifically on mobile — PWAs, Framework7, shinyMobile, app store deployment, and native-like UX for iOS and Android. Together, the three courses form the complete Shiny engineering stack.
This course assumes intermediate R and Shiny experience — ideally from our ProductioniZing Shiny Apps course. If you are new to Shiny, consider starting with the Shiny Bundle which includes all three courses.
shinyMobile is an open-source R package that brings mobile-native UX to Shiny apps using the Framework7 framework. AthlyticZ funded the complete v2 rebuild as part of our open source initiative to advance the data science ecosystem. Dr. David Granjon created the original package and Veerle Eeftink - van Leemput co-developed v2 — both contribute directly to this course.
Yes. The course covers Capacitor and PWABuilder for packaging your Shiny PWA for distribution on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. You will also learn Google Lighthouse compatibility checks and manifest configuration.
You may drop the course within 3 days of commencement for a full refund. No refunds after day 3 or if you have completed 25% or more of the course material.
