Can monolith convert a shinylive app meant for a static web server to a standalone single file html?

Would be really cool if could convert shinylive apps meant to be displayed on static web servers (remote or local) to standalone single file .htmls:
https://posit-dev.github.io/r-shinylive/
That way, developers could create R shiny apps and distribute to users that users could use off-line and not have to use (or know how to use) their own local static web-servers. I tried doing the conversion in monolith but wasn't able to get the single-file .html it created to work (blank screen).
I'm an avid R user but very novice web developer and didn't know if maybe not possible as shinylive relies on webR which I believe uses web or service workers and wasm.
Thanks! :-)
