Is it possible to gather any sort of usage analytics for an R shiny app whose source code is on GitHub but that is only run locally? For instance, one of the following:
- Number of times the code is downloaded and executed with
shiny::runGitHub()
- Number of times the app is run in the client computer
One can track the traffic to a GitHub repository with the Insights tool, but that does inform on whether the app is being used or not.
Google Analytics can be integrated into a shiny app, but that requires the app to be hosted at shinyapps.io or any other shiny server, which is not my situation at the moment.
