Browser-Only Tools

Browser-only tools are fully delivered and executed in the client, with most logic and persistence handled by the browser runtime.

What This Means In Practice

The key is treating the browser as a real application platform instead of a thin client. This keeps hosting simple while still shipping useful workflows.

Why It Matters

• Lower user friction and better first-session completion.
• Higher trust through clearer defaults and less hidden complexity.
• Faster products by leaning on browser-native capabilities first.

Implementation Checklist

• Start with local-first state and progressive enhancement.
• Keep core workflows usable without account walls.
• Avoid unnecessary analytics and third-party scripts.
• Offer export options when user data is involved.
