There are web compiler to run R code like on this website: https://rdrr.io/snippets/. But it is not possible to run shiny apps there. For example, try

library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
  numericInput("obs", "Observations:", 10, min = 1, max = 100),
  verbatimTextOutput("value")
)
server <- function(input, output) {
  output$value <- renderText({ input$obs })
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

on the site above and you get the error "createTcpServer: address not available".

Is there a website where we can directly run R code containing shiny apps?

Background: I made a simple shiny app which I want to provide to collegues. Unfortunately, we can not install software (like R) on computers due to security policies of our institution. Therefore, I look for a web compiler.

You can deploy any Shiny app for free on ShinyApps.io for a limited number of hours per month. Deployment can be done straight from R Studio; see the Documentation.
