electricShine VS oanda

You can use electricShine to turn a shiny app into a simple .exe installable. BUT, the project is dormant - you can get it working but you need to pay attention to the most recent issues and install particular commits.

I’ve had some joy with electricShine. Albeit, last time I tried I had to use a specific commit and ignore some of the documentation (it suggests using a golem style app but that package has moved on and it’s no longer compatible).

If you want something totally self contained that someone can install like a “normal” program, then try electricShine. I’ve had good success with this but some people struggle so, if it’s a route you want to go, give me a shout.

You can use electron to create a standalone shiny app, see https://chasemc.github.io/electricShine/, https://foretodata.com/how-to-make-a-standalone-desktop-application-with-shiny-and-electron-on-windows/, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARrbbviGvjc

Have you looked into electricShine?

There's electricShine, which uses electron.js. And, I want to say there's a new R wrapper around the rust crate tauri, but I'm blanking on the name.

You can look into electricShine. It's supposed to be able to create desktop executable shiny apps. I haven't used it myself and have heard that it can be dependent on the system configuration that you are attempting to run it on, but if it works, it could match what you are looking for.
