Online demo

There should be an online demo where at least developers can try this out.

i have no idea how to set this up? do you? even so, why bother with the hassle?

you clone, and then say library(shiny); runApp(). ?

The point would be to have something you can just use without having to set everything up on your own machine, similar to how we run all the testing on Travis/Jenkins.

We would need a server to run this. I can maybe set this up on the Jenkins machine.

i understand you, but what i dont understand: what are you gaining from this? this really does not seem worth the effort? where is the problem in what i posted?

berndbischl avatar Aug 23 '16 18:08 berndbischl

i mean you need NOTHING to set this up. shiny, and a browser. and a single command.

You need all the learners you want to use installed, plus shiny, shinyjs and probably some other stuff. Now you want somebody to try something and tell you what they think. They need to install all of this (plus R, etc).

you started the thread by mentioning the DEVELOPERS should be able to try this....? i would guess they all have R installed.....

to install the (needed) learners we need a simple shortcut anyway. and you dont need all of them. just the ones you want to use.

"At least" developers, but yes, this would be more useful for non-developers to give feedback (and hence for developers).

If you don't think that this would be useful, feel free to close.

well i am not going to set this up (now) :) if you do this, i would be happy, of course it has some kind of use.

see if you can do it, in a short amount of time. if not, please close.

in the meantime, maybe do runApp to have a look ;-)

I mean it's totally trival to put this thing on https://www.shinyapps.io/ althoug 25 hours for the free usage package might be nothing if you show this thing to more then 20 people a month. Do we have any contacts to get some more out of it :wink: ?

@Coorsaa host shiny maybe we could host it here, didn't read everything in detail though. But from what I saw I think we can host this for free. We'd probably need to apply over our department somehow.

We could try to apply for something like this https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/education/2013/05/05/is-there-academic-pricing-for-windows-azure-no-but-theres-something-betterfree-azure/ if it's used for teaching.

Maybe we could setup this until we find a nicer solution. You still need R installed locally to launch the app but it safes possible users from cloning the repo.

i have resources on azure, and probably can make a million connections to places where we can host this.

just talk to me, if you want
