Docker swarm mode (still around) != docker swarm (cancelled). Poorly named so the confusion is normal
Sorry, I meant indexeddb not localStorage, but yeah a cleanup would clear it as well. Mere supports data export/import though, and it hasn’t been much of an issue yet in practice
EMR = Electronic Medical Records a.k.a your hospitals computer system.

Mere is a PWA stores all of your records in localStorage in your browser, data is not stored on any server.

While a good looking service, it seems pretty expensive unless you’re willing to donate your data to research?
I mean, if you use open source apps that build on top of healthcare interoperability data formats like HL7 FHIR, you can get automated data pulls from EHRs while being able to just switch apps later.
Fasten Health (mentioned in a previous comment) is probably your best bet. It automatically syncs with your EMR and pulls your lab results automatically. You can manually upload your own data in a bunch of cases.

If you’re looking for another open source alternative, I’m building Mere Medical (www.mere medical.co) which is not quite as developed as Fasten but takes a local-first approach and still connects to 2000+ healthcare institutions.

To be fair, physicians take their exams upfront instead of per job interviews: MCAT (7 hours long), STEP 1 (8 hours long), STEP 2 (9 hours long), STEP 3 (2 days), along with recertification exams every decade.
