enthusiactically waiting for webR to be more practical

[sbalci]

Hi,

With https://github.com/coatless/quarto-webr extension it will be easy to run webR :)

One point is that it is not practical to run a local html file without a localhost like server is enabled. webR is activated on github page or when rendered within Rstudio, but not active when I open the html file directly.

The location and use of webr-worker.js and webr-serviceworker.js should be explained more clearly.

I am enthusiactically waiting for webR to be more practical.

This seems to be a discussion either on the webR repository or on the Quarto extension.m repository.

I don't believe this has anything to do with Quarto CLI itself at this point.

sure just wanted to let people in the discussion to know new possibilities.

Well if that is your intent, I would suggest to rewrite your message that way, because right now your message is not about new possibilities brought by webR and the Quarto extension.

thanks. better if an editor deletes this then, i couldn't. I will reopen the discussion with more information. sorry for this.

No apologies needed, nothing wrong. 😉
Simply edit your original post, no reasons to delete it in my opinion.

@sbalci Thanks for the feedback. As quarto-webr is an extension to Quarto, you probably want to place this post under the repository's issue tracker instead of the Quarto CLI one.

That said, please note that opening the rendered webR-enabled Quarto HTML document directly is a limitation built-in to web browsers. We discuss a few options to overcome it here and provide further context here:
