[CollEc] CollEc App Offline

[Christian Zimmermann]

While we are discussing CollEc, I am still looking for the new data. And 
no, rsync is not a solution for me, but ftp, http and https are fine from 
wherever suits you.

Unlike CollEc, it does not require the functionalities of R or Python combined with C++. It exclusively reads pre-computed results from a SQL database and displays them. With front- and backend written in JavaScript, I can make use of pre-initialization. I.e. users do not have to wait for the app to initialize, as they do in the case of CollEc where ShinyProxy might take a few seconds to spin up a Docker container. However, I need to focus on my research during the week and only have time to work on my JavaScript skills and apps during the weekend. It might, therefore, take a few months to produce a satisfactory JavaScript GraphEc.
