Suggestion for local deployment

[dentistfrankchen]

First of all, this is a great website. Thank you for your great work. However, is there a way to allow us to deploy locally? There's privacy problem if we upload some specific documents.

Hi @dentistfrankchen, yes, that's possible.

Reference Extractor always works locally (documents are locally processed on your computer and document content is never uploaded to remote servers), so there should be no privacy concern. If you want to be extra sure, there are two options:

• You can visit https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor/ and disconnect your computer from the internet after the page has loaded. The webpage should still work.
• You can also download and extract a copy of the GitHub repository (https://github.com/rmzelle/ref-extractor/archive/refs/heads/master.zip), and open index.html in your web browser. This should also work when offline.
