Anyone used PackageCompiler to build a distributable app with an Interact/Blink GUI?

I have some code that I run a couple of times per month and I’d like to be able to build a GUI for it, compile it as an app, and then distribute the .exe to others in my organization (non-programmers) so that they can make use of it. Normally, I would write an API for this, get that running on a server, and then build a web-based front end that calls the API. In this case, however, I’m not going to be able to do that and it will have to be something that a user can run on their desktop.

I’m wondering if anyone has built anything with Interact/Blink and successfully compiled it with PackageCompiler.jl for Windows 10? If so, is there a git repo you could share?

My needs are actually very simple, I just need a simple GUI that allows users to pick two different files from their desktop, a button that will execute the code, and maybe a space for the user to enter in the directory where they would like the output file to be saved.
