Makers: What is your favorite way to handle offline/local user data?
by•
Hey everyone,
I'm preparing to launch OnlyBills (https://onlybills.netlify.app/) on Product Hunt soon. It's a completely free GST invoice generator.
To ensure 100% privacy, the app stores everything locally on the client-side. I've also implemented a Local Backup & Restore feature where users can download/upload a single .json file containing their profile and history data.
Since this is my first time relying entirely on local storage for a tool, I’d love to ask the makers here:
Do you find local browser storage convenient, or do you prefer database-backed tools?
What features would make an offline tool feel more premium to you?
If you have a second to inspect the preview layouts at OnlyBills, let me know your thoughts on the UX!
