[@BoomSlang13]

Holy buckets! This is incredible. Can’t wait to give this a shot.

[@Louie_Batton]

Perfect Video!! Exactly what I was looking for!!!

[@ahmetkurnaz7015]

this is so exciting! Kudos guys I was just searching for such a solution!

[@kanchanpathak3555]

This is exactly what I needed..awesome work

[@johnedwardhills4529]

Amazing! Thanks. This is exactly my use case

[@awesomemyadventures9051]

Thank you for the video. I'm trying to install new libraries using your video and presentations. I'm on mac. I'm not sure how to get "within electron" area. I was trying to go to the R-Portable-Mac directory, tried to run R from there and also from the R-Portable-Mac/bin directory. New library installs ok, but when running my program, I first notice that R version is not the same as in R-Portable-Mac and then it says that package is not found...

[@christiansetzkorn6241]

thanks. yes shiny deployment using rstudio components is too expensive.

[@orlandotorales864]

I just love it, thank you

[@Schaelpy]

Exactly what I need! Thanks!

[@Oblivinym]

If one wanted to include non-base-R libraries, how would one go about that? Would that involve tinkering on the Portable-R side?

[@sanjidnet]

Sounds like that's what they're doing here 14:42

So I guess they need access to any data source, so it may not be good for data entry. But probably great for analysis. Thanks! I do worry about the "nodeJS" install part though.

What about shiny server apps with running api's and auth?

[@diwashshrestha4996]

Thank you for sharing IT.

[@ACDM22]

Has anyone figured out how to actually apply this to their own shiny app? I get stuck when I need to install new packages. Don't really know how to do this correctly. Anyone able to offer guidance?

[@ddvretail9919]

How do you set a password or activation code for an app like this?

[@pollo834]

Thanks, this is awesome and extremely helpful

[@RishiDasRoy]

Will it work for Linux , as I can not see any r-portatable folder for linux as there are for mac and windows?

[@zelaznog25]

I can't believe I'm just watching this just now... it would have been very helpful in... 2018 LOLz

[@MindHaunter]

The repository has not been updated for over 5 years, and is miles behind electron repo. Let alone that electron itself has lots of issues recently. This was a cool idea back then, but not working anymore. Save your time and don't try it, or at least don't wast a lot of time on it.
