Interest in making submission app available without pip installation?

[bethac07]

Hi folks,

Super cool initiative!

I just had a question about the submission app - I think it's a great idea, but it seems like you need to pip install everything to use it, which may give it significant activation energy. We have a small cloud server running that hosts a streamlit server for BOAQ we could add this to, and I've also played around with versions of that which use Serverless Streamlit, so if that's a project that's continuously maintained and of interest, I'd be happy to help out setting up one or the other of those options. If not, no harm :)

Hi @bethac07 ,

oh wow, you may be providing an answer to a question we had indeed! I presume we can store a github API key in your server to be able to create Github pull-requests? I be happy to give this a try!

Best,
Robert

https://nfdi.boaq.org/ ; if you had your own domain to put in front of it, you could (you just have to pay for it and tell me what is, and I'll give you the A record); it presumably won't work right now because I don't have your API key but I assume we can circle together on that somehow :)

If you don't want to deal with a domain name (or use mine), you could also hypothetically transition things to serverless streamlit (assuming pygithub works with pyiodide; it may I just dont' know), this was just faster, because I don't know how that works with having a secret like an API key.

(It's set up right now with a limited-permission, time-limited API key of mine, but I don't have repo access so I can't make PRs (#277 ))
