Hey this is pretty cool. Instead of Electron app I would prefer it as a browser tab. Wish it could be self hosted.

Thanks!

You can use the web version, it's all offline and saved in localStorage. Works well in mobile too and can be "installed" as an app from there.

I wanted to see how this would run in redbean[1], and it runs fantastically!

If you wanna see this in a little executable that you can pass around to your friends, check out this repo I threw up: https://github.com/shmup/redbean-calcpad

This is now essentially an offline CalcPad that still leverages LocalStorage, since the UI is your browser. I've configured this specific build to automatically launch your default browser when you run it.

Hadn't heard about redbean, quite cool. I've added a link on my README to your repo, thanks!
