Running Shiny without a server
summary
Shinylive runs Python in the browser by shipping a Pyodide WebAssembly environment and app code so no Python server is required; examples encode the app into the URL or export a static site for GitHub Pages/Netlify, with a baseline ~13 MB download and browser caching for repeat loads. It supports pandas/matplotlib but not packages requiring compiled extensions, exposes code/data to clients, works on Chromebooks/iPads, and demonstrably runs interactive examples on shiny.rstudio.com.
