Abstract: In the rapidly evolving landscape of web technologies, the integration of R (and Python) with modern web frameworks has become increasingly important for data scientists and developers. This presentation introduces {shinylive}, a new R package that exports Shiny applications to be run within statically hosted websites. We will explore the capabilities of {shinylive} through its use of the innovative R package {webR}, which allows for the execution of R code in the browser (via WebAssembly and service workers) without the need for a centralized server.
The presentation will cover the technical foundation of {shinylive}, including its architecture and the integration process with Quarto documents. We will also discuss the practical aspects and drawbacks of exporting Shiny apps with {shinylive}, highlighting the ease of exporting apps to a folder for local use or hosting them on GitHub pages.
{shinylive} bridges the gap between Shiny and static websites, making it a valuable resource for interactive data analysis and presentation.
