write a vignette on chrome_print and shiny

[cderv]

From https://github.com/rstudio/pagedown/pull/97#issuecomment-480575036, @colinfay offered to write a vignette on the feature chrome_print in a shiny app.

Are you still interested ?

[RLesur]

I feel such a vignette could be valuable. Here are some recent questions on this topic

If anyone (@cderv, @ColinFay, @r2evans, @smsenkier or anyone else) is interesting in contributing, PR are welcome! Thanks! I do not know enough about Shiny to write this vignette.

Can do, but I'm short on time in the upcoming weeks. When would you want it to be written?

[RLesur]

Thanks a lot! There is no due date (there's no deadline for volunteers 😄). I just feel that chrome_print() is increasingly being used with Shiny.

[RLesur]

I have written a demo Shiny application here: https://github.com/RLesur/chrome_print_shiny This application is deployed on shinyapps.io here: https://romain-lesur.shinyapps.io/chrome_print_shiny/.

I don't think I'll have time to write the vignette in the next weeks but do not hesitate to initiate a contribution.

Does the app still work for you @RLesur? I get this:

The console says Unchecked runtime.lastError: The message port closed before a response was received.

UPDATE: For me it runs fine locally and also on my own shinyapps site.
