Local-only support

Issue opened to track this upcoming feature:
"Eric here (one of the creators of JSON Hero) and this is a really good point. We built JSON Hero earlier this year and partly wanted to use it to try out Cloudflare Workers and Remix, hence the decision to store in KV and use that kind of architecture. We're keen to update JSON Hero with better local-only support for this reason, and to make it easier to self-host or run locally." source

In the meantime, I would suggest to edit the home page and docs to make it clearer that the JSON is not kept locally. I almost installed the VS Code extension but then realized that maybe the file is actually sent somewhere.

Note: This issue could probably be merged with #22 which was making the same request but not titled as clearly.

I am searching for a tool to create, view and edit JSON so I can manage database-like stuff for my game developement. JSON is a perfect medium to store that kind of data.

I was excited when I saw your tool. The UI is great and looks modern. I was planning on modifying it to run in ElectronJS so I can run it off an executable and manage it.

However, I think we're missing a few things:

  • First, the ability to modify the data right from the interface while navigating.
  • Some kind of added ability to open a project (A folder structure that just detects JSON files)
  • Creating new file
  • Optionally base these on a defined JSON Schema so the structure is followed

And while this seems little, this is a lot from where it is right now.
