📜 Manifesto & Philosophy

• Local-First & Offline-Ready: Your data remains on your physical device. No hidden network requests.
• Zero External Dependencies: Everything needed (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) lives within a single file.
• Intellectual Sovereignty: Pure software you can inspect, modify, fork, and preserve indefinitely.
• Citizen Developer Friendly: Highly readable, hackable code that can be customized in any standard text editor.
