- anamexis 3y agoThen why use a browser-based tool?
- amno 3y agoBecause they used web technologies to put together the program?
- anamexis 3y agoMy point is, why would you install and run a web service locally when you could just install a native PDF app?
- amno 3y agoWell if you could sure; but you would still want to see what the app does I guess. Without the source, you can't trust binary blobs. That was just a reflection why people want the source.
