gggenomes works in webR

[iimog]

I just realized, that it is possible to run gggenomes in webR in the browser 🤯
Thanks to r-universe building a wasm package for us, we can go to the webR repl: https://webr.r-wasm.org/latest/ and install gggenomes there.

install.packages('gggenomes', repos = c('https://thackl.r-universe.dev', 'https://repo.r-wasm.org'))

That's it. We can then use gggenomes, e.g. to run the example:

I think this is super nice! It allows anyone to run gggenomes without installing anything locally. It also offers the possibility to provide interactive documentation 😎

I further experimented a little bit with shiny and shinylive. Here is a minimal interactive example of gggenomes running in the web using shinylive: http://biomeds.github.io/shiny-gggenomes/site ✨
