How to build a GUI with Uplink, Scaling to 100's of Users' Local Machines

I came across this post in the forum today: Multiple Uplinks To Same App . It outlines an approach using unique registered functions for each user with a user ID dynamically setting the function name.

It ties together nicely in terms of using the uplink in distributed desktop applications that connect to a single Anvil App instance.

I wonder how many uplinks can operate simultaneously.

Presently, I am preconfiguring the up-link desktop application with the user’s key connected to a user-specific isolated app instance, but I’m working on handling all of the users within one instance.

I think it will be neater to distribute the same application and have users input their unique key. It would be even neater to present user authentication with the desktop application, but I’m not sure how to do that yet.
