Are you referring to the web application https://jsoneditoronline.org? This website is offline available by default. After you've opened it once, you can just open it again when you're offline in any browser.
Ah yeah, the web app. I'm wondering if there's a way I can just have the html and its resources in a folder, and run it like that.
That's not supported, sorry. Maybe some day I can see whether I can provide a Desktop application via Electron for example.
What is the reason that you need the application offline? (isn't the offline support in the browser enough?)
Basically I want it to be fully self-contained.
Ok and can you explain why do you wan that?
(I can understand wanting to be able to use the app without internet - but that's covered already)
Basically I'm not sure how persistent the chrome apps are, and I'd like to be able to make sure the code doesn't make any internet connections for privacy/security.
Clear, that's a valid concern. Roughly: the web application stays offline available as long as you don't clear your browser data. It's indeed not an absolute guarantee.
If there is much demand for a desktop application I can consider it, please drop a message here then.
I think I'll look more into how the progressive web app/chrome "install app" options work a bit more. Maybe there's a way to copy the data it stores into a standalone folder. But thanks for the offer.
👍 I'll close this issue now and turn it into a discussion. Thanks for your input!
I'd like to use this fully offline (not relying on the "install this website" feature of chrome), but I don't want to install npm. Is there a way I can do this?
