If it were followed up by convincing me that my data is stored in LocalStorage and doesn’t leave my browser, I’d be sold :). I know I’d still have to trust you that you’re actually implementing what you claim, but I think I’d be willing to. After all, the same would be true for an application running natively: those, too, can submit my data “to the internet.”
For me personally, having an Electron app would not make much of a difference. Do I run your code in my Firefox or in a separate process? I’m still running your code on my machine. Maybe browser-based even has some advantage because it is sandboxed filesystem-wise. Not sure whether this holds true for Electron.
Import/export as CSV or whatever format would also be a huge plus for me.
As a last point, I’m not sure I understand the status quo: you are saying all caluclations are done client-side – but the results are stored server-side?
Nice work!
- scubakid 5y agoThanks! A LocalStorage only option seems very doable. With all the interest expressed here, I'll add that to the roadmap. As for the status quo, without Premium no plan data is stored server-side. With Premium, plan data is stored server-side only if the user chooses to enable that feature. Calculations/projections are always made client-side and the results are not stored server-side.
