Thanks!
Yea, that's a great idea - it'd be really neat if folks could just use it locally without creating an account. Hoping I can get this added in the coming weeks!
In terms of how it's built - it's just vanilla code. The website and browser extensions are both build using plain Javascript + HTML + CSS. The backend server is in Python (uses FastAPI and Postgres for the DB). And the iOS app is in Swift.
I don't have much experience with React (/Native) yet so unfortunately no tips, sorry!
(and yup, sorry about that - buckled a bit under the load earlier, but is back up now - keeping an eye on the server now so hopefully no more issues!)
