I just found this interesting PDF tool:

Fully offline, everything is client side, the files get edited in the browser, there’s no server uploads.

    This looks great, but if everything is client side, then why do I need a browser to access this?

      If you have other software capable of running Javascript, you’re welcome to use that too. That’s what the underlying libraries are written in.

        I didn’t know this existed. Granted I don’t know a lot about web development. An example ?

          Nodejs. I don’t know if it supports GUIs though. I’m not aware of any other JS implementations outside the browser.

      I thought the same thing. It would be great if they packaged this in a flatpak or appimage, although right now it is so simple that anything else would be bloat.

      I bet you could download the HTML and just use that.
