Call for Help: R/Shiny Developer
12Dear Fantasy Football Analytics Community,
Four years ago, we released web apps to help people make better decisions in fantasy football based on the wisdom of the crowd. Over the past four years, the community response has been incredibly supportive, and we continually improved the apps in response to user feedback. The community also contributed directly to the project, with a number of users making additions and edits to our public source R scripts on our GitHub repo and our ffanalytics R package. In sum, we provide web apps built by the people, for the people.
This brings me to our call for help. As we try to keep up with feature requests from the community and the impressive increase in users, we are looking for additional help. We are looking for an R/Shiny developer to help develop our web apps (apps.
Crucial skills:
- R package knowledge
- Experience developing/testing R code/packages
- Familiarity with Shiny
Nice-to-have skills (but not required):
- Knowledge of American Football and fantasy football
To apply, please email the following to jobs@fantasyfootballanalytics.net:
- letter of interest with a brief description of relevant skills
- resume/CV
- how much time you expect to be able to contribute
- work sample of R packages and/or Shiny apps that you have developed
Sincerely,
Isaac Petersen
I noticed that the different app links all take you to the same version. I’m not seeing a difference in the snake vs auction style app? I’m looking for snake…any plans to update app for snake?
Hi Gray. You can use the projections app as a tool for snake style drafts, just update with your own scoring settings and click off players as they get picked.
I’m having problems registering for the app.is that due to updates or am I just having the problems
Hi Colin, can you please provide the additional details described here so we can take a look at the error: https://fantasyfootballanalytics.net/about-the-site/faq#errors
Thanks!
Unable to open any of the app pages – screen just goes blank – both with iPad and Mac OS for MacBook Pro, as well as an old Microsoft pc
App no longer opens on my pc. The page says “loading data” but the screen remains blank. Was working just fine a week ago.
Just got a “disconnected from server, reload” message while trying to load the projections app. I clicked reload and nothing happened.
Appears to just be a short downtime, should be working now!
Should be working now!
Hey – are you planning on updating your web site football analytics for the 2018 season? Draft planning is underway and I like your site! Thanks.
Yes! We should have the projections out sometime this month.
Cheers,
Isaac
Are you still looking for help? I have extensive R experience and would love to gain some experience working with Shiny apps.
