Nice, however:

> Vanilla JavaScript (ES6+) CSS3 with CSS Grid Minimal external libraries: marked.js, exifr, highlight.js, sql-formatter (all from CDN) No frameworks, no bundlers, no npm Hosted on Github Pages

One problem. - "Hosted on Github Pages"

I don't think either using GitHub or hosting it on Github Pages respects the user's "privacy".

A better way is to self-host on your own server + domain instead.

I fail to see how “hosted on Github Pages” has anything to do with the user’s privacy… This is not a snark, I really would like to understand.

Users do have the option to 'Git' or simply download the pages and use them locally, can't get more private than that.

Likewise the CDN's, probably.
