Build a Shinylive app #103

Could provide a simple Shiny interface to let users supply information and retrieve a compliant spreadsheet. This should exist in a standalone repo but call {a11ytables} for functionality.

The R interface should always be considered primary, particularly for Reproducible Analytical Pipelines, but an app could help lower the barrier to entry because no R skill would be necessary.

Shinylive (in development) would be beneficial so that a server isn't required and also because all the calculation will be done on the user's browser (i.e. data is not 'sent' anywhere). I've already had a play around with Shinylive for another project (read the blog, see the source code or access the app).

I don't think this can be done for now, since Shiny Live can't get non-CRAN packages. This would also belong in another repo, not this one, so the issue isn't completely relevant here.
