In my opinion, one of the projects I had implemented for the Data Science specialization was particularly successful. Not because of UX or because of a special technology, but because of the use case.

The WHO provides various statistical data on their website. Some of these data sets contain statistical data on the growth of children, e.g. body length and weight depending on age.

In my project the data is downloaded from the WHO website and then visualized in a shiny app.

The repository contains a script prepare_data.R, which downloads the dataset and prepares it to be used by the app.

When the data is prepared the app can be run either in R-Studio or be deployed to shinyapp.io.
