Hi, Qdrant team here. Could you please explain why it has to be in-browser and not just start a docker locally?

Thank you for responding here.

For this enterprise use-case, I am looking to ship a web app that will run off of IT-managed fileservers and IT-managed LLM APIs, on user desktops and laptops without privileged access to install software.

If the dataset isn't extensive, you might be able just to use an ANN library like FAISS.

That's a great idea, I will look at FAISS for now. Thank you.
