I forgot to give an intro text. I wrote Bowtie to make it really easy to make dashboards and enable lots of interactivity. I'm hoping that it could be the next Shiny, but it needs a lot of work to get there. If you are interested and try it out, I'd be happy to hear what you think.
Yea, with the first I just whipped something together quickly to show off some tech. I should spend some more time thinking about the content to improve the wow factor :)
