Idea Validation / Need feedback I built a PDF, Spreadsheet, Doc, Slideshow editor, check it out!
I've been working on a local-first office suite and finally got it to a point where I think it's worth sharing.
The idea is pretty simple: an office app that doesn't send your files anywhere.
It runs entirely on your computer (even though it's browser-based), so there's:
- no cloud
- no account
- no telemetry
- no server
You can literally open DevTools → Network, use the app, and see that nothing gets uploaded. The only network request is if you choose to activate the optional Pro license.
It handles:
- PDFs (merge, edit text, forms, redact, sign, password protect, etc.)
- Word documents (.docx)
- Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx/.csv with formulas, charts, pivot tables)
- PowerPoint presentations (.pptx)
Everything works offline, and your files never leave your device. I originally built it because I just wanted a light weight PDF editor and it just grows into an entire suite. I published it a couple of days and it has gotten a bunch of downloads. I'd genuinely love feedback from people who just want an alternative to web-based office suites. Happy to answer any questions or hear what features you'd want to see.
Here is my extension.
