"Hello, World" app input (UI)
The "Hello, World!!!" app, while enthusiastic, could be more fun. Extend the app and have it wish a hello to a specific person. A user will enter a name and the app will update to wish that name "Hello".
For users to enter text, you'll have to use a text-specific shiny input function to capture it. Recall that shiny makes available a number of input functions depending on what kind of input you'd like to capture from your users.
shiny has been pre-loaded for you.
