Description

I did some tests and the shinylive apps on the gallery take about 25s to load on my machine. This is too slow for such simple applications and since the user likely doesn't know the internals of shinylive they'll think "Shiny is pretty slow" instead of "wow isn't it amazing that these are running in the browser!"

Hosting the apps has some additional benefits as well:

  • More friendly to users with bad internet connections
  • We can provision some apps to be always running
  • It encourages more complex apps

Research direction

Start by locating the gallery apps and their current shinylive hosting or deployment entry points. Review how the gallery builds and publishes these apps before determining the shinyapps.io deployment approach. Done means the gallery apps are hosted on shinyapps.io and the current loading concern is addressed.
