I wonder why they won't let you to open local files without passing their content via browser. Should be very useful when run locally.
Google's all about the web. Even local apps are web apps in their world.
Which isn't to say that's a bad idea...
Actually this project was an acquisition. That's how it worked when they bought it from the Freebase guys.
I knew about the Freebase integration but didn't know it came from them. Thanks!
That doesn't justify passing 700 megabyte files via my browser when they could be simply opened being local.
It's open source under a permissive license...
It is local, it's just the browser is the interface. Or am I missing something?
You can't select a local file. You have to upload file even if it's local.
It's been a while since I used refine, but IIRC it just ran on localhost and I didn't have to upload anything.
You run it on localhost but you upload files from your localhost into your localhost. Which is the point.
Browser security policy for HTML+JS content?
