Sorry, it was Dash that was the issue [here](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/ongoing-binder-issues/32116/6). So what I was thinking of didn’t involve that repo using runtime to run R.

Looking at your repo though it looks like you can possibly convert it to using `environment.yml` with guidance from my last post?

I know it doesn’t pertain to OP, yet because I raised ‘Shiny’ in this thread though, for the sake of others getting here:  
Sorry, it was Dash that was the issue [here](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/ongoing-binder-issues/32116/6). Not Shiny.

I had though raised issues about Shiny a long time ago [here](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/r-shiny-app-on-mybinder-launch-attempt-failing/19034/2). I don’t know if it ever was workin in the interim there.

I will point out in regards to Shiny presently, there is [py.cafe](https://py.cafe/). It says ‘Shiny for Python’ though and I don’t know how easy the conversions are though.
