webapp: No-network process-in-memory mode #4

Open str4d opened 4 years ago

str4d commented 4 years ago

We are currently using StreamSaver.js to stream the processed file back to the user, which requires using a service worker, and thus interacting with a server. It would be great to have a no-network mode that encrypts or decrypts entirely in memory (with corresponding memory limits) and then offers the resulting Blob to the user.

Another reason this would be useful is that the current StreamSaver.js approach requires a secure context, which you obviously don't get for a locally-hosted HTML file (but do get for a pre-cached webpage from a server that you then use while offline...)
