So the whole app is not made in chatgpt It started like that 11 months ago though yes I made the website and 7 pdf operations with chatgpt as a test to investigate chatgpts power and applications Everything after that has been manual though and basically all the code has been changed by now

No paid backing, just running on donations at the moment. I am tempted to try add a paid feature for AI integration or something or some high end office features as I have a fair few offices that use this software now. But to be honest I would always want it free and it's just been a hobby

Yes our v2 version we are working on is this! We plan to completely migrate functionality to be all client with a server side one for API requests as well

I see what you're saying and for simple features I agree However Without the OP creating the ticket there can be no feedback look on the feature. If i wanted it tested for their usecase, there input and confirmation on if its what they wanted and improvements for the workflow etc.. If I base the whole feature on this comment it could end up only doing half a job. Id rather have that communication loop open!

Dev here, totally could, we dismissed it at first as electron is quite bulky containing a whole chromium instance inside the exe. instead we kept it small as possible for the exe version Truth is its not to hard to port to electron We have plans for a full UI version in V2. We are releasing V1 (SPDF is currently in beta) sometime this month. But have begun work on a V2 port to different language and framework.
