Export WASM to folder for self-publishing on personal web site

[astrowonk]

marimo.app is very cool and I was excited to see the WASM support. But, WASM apps should be able to just be turned into a folder than can deployed on any web server (nginx, apache, etc.) Shiny Live for example has an easy shinylive export myapp site command that turns the app into a folder I can upload to my nginx server.

Whereas for now, wasm notebooks seem to require using marimo.app. Is there a plan to have an export option someday? Thanks!

This is a great idea, and has been requested a few times. We very well may do this in the future.

In the meantime, can you get by with iframing marimo.app (https://docs.marimo.io/guides/wasm.html#embedding)?

Hmm, I don't think so. I keep most of my complex code in separate python files, that I import into the Marimo notebook to use/visualize. These functions/classes are not defined in the notebook itself. Similarly at some point I'd want to read data from a local file, assuming that works.

That would be a nice feature! I Think it would solve many data security concerns and help publish marimo notebooks to non tech colleagues
