Can I package a shiny app with personal data into a standalone application using photon package? #13

I think Photon package is a incredible packaging tool for standalone shiny app. In the process of packaging executing programs, I encountered a new problem: many people's shiny programs need their own personal data. How can I package a shiny app with personal data (mydata.RData or mydata.rda) into an application by using photon package? Thank you!

I'm in a similar position wondering about creating a local app with an SQLite backend for persistent data that will survive closing/crashing. I think the overall question is: "Can a photonified shiny app internalize locally stored data, and if so in what ways".
