How do install the package in shinylive from github

[stephenturner]

What is your question?

Super cool package and idea here. I'm trying to get this to work in a package that is only available on github. When I follow the docs, I get a packagedown page that opens up a shinylive browser, but it's blank, and when I hit the edit button, it can't find the package function when I try to run it. If I add a library(mylibname) to the examples, it still doesn't work because it can't find my package in the webR binary repo. Not sure how to get this to work.

> Warning in webr::install(pkg_name) :
  Requested package mypackagename not found in webR binary repo.

Hey @stephenturner, where can we find your package? CC @pawelru

Hey @stephenturner thanks for the interest in the package!
The simplest and probably most robust way is to use CRAN only packages. WebR builds the wasm binaries for almost all the CRAN packages so this should work.
I also tried with r-universe and this should be possible as well with some extra workaround (I asked that question in some repo and got reply how to do this).
For GitHub unfortunately I haven't try so can't guide you here.
I'm afk now. Once I came back I can send you some references that could help you!
