Shiny app package development steps:

1. Create a Github repository to host the application's package
2. Create a Rstudio project linked to the Github repository
3. Create the package core files in the Rstudio project
4. Copy/paste the function and module template files to the R project
5. Develop the application functions (modules and analytical), going back and forth between these 4 actions:
   1. Edit the template files to customize the application
   2. Create / update new files / functions as necessary
   3. Load functions to the local environment, update documentation, run checks (resp. load_all(), document() and check() from the devtools package)
   4. Commit and push changes to the Github repository.
