It works offline and the files are stored locally on your own computer. I agree with your sentiment and that's actually why we built it like this. Browser gives multiple device support, faster incremental updates, bug fix etc. And it gives an easy way to share/cooperate/review with other people

What about it running in the browser prevents it from staying on the machine? It even has a PWA install flow.

Some of us totally disagree with this sentiment, OP. I'm tired of all the "it runs on my machine" that Show HN often brings.

Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!
