The shinyNotes package is an enterprise-targeted scalable and customizable shiny module providing an easy way to incorporate free-form note taking or discussion boards into your shiny applications.
The package includes a shiny module, shinynotes, that can be included in any shiny application to create a panel containing searchable, editable text broken down by section headers of your choice.
