You can even set up build steps using GitHub Actions if you prefer something beyond vanilla JS, or publish the project for free on Cloudflare, even from private repositories. In addition to localStorage, IndexedDB is also very useful. It's easy to export the app’s data as JSON for better persistence, and you could store it on Google Drive or a similar service.

(2015)"]]>Most likely for lobbying purposes. You might want to support or block a bill, resolve an issue that affects you, or push for legal changes or permits that benefit your business. It's about influencing decisions that have a direct impact on your interests. And it doesn't even need to be business related; sometimes it's just like calling the building manager when something is annoying you and you're bored.
