For public-sector data preservation, it may be one of the best options.

The specification is publicly available

- It is widely adopted - It is likely to remain readable in the future - It has little dependency on specific operating systems or services - It carries low patent risk

From the perspective of long-term continuity, avoiding dependence on any particular company or service is extremely important.

This application supports the following platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and FireOS. I was surprised. It is very interesting that it is implemented using a combination of REST API, HTTPS encryption, and local networking.

Japanese is currently read and written from left to right. However, until about 80 years ago (before World War II), it was read and written from right to left—though this applied only to horizontal writing. Vertical writing is read from right to left, and this convention continues today; for example, Japanese comics (manga) are still read from right to left.
