Very cool! I wish more editors would exist as web services, easily solving the cross-platformity that way.

This isn't a web service. It's a browser-based tool that runs entirely on your device. It's published as a static site on GitHub Pages, and ("but"?) everything it's doing is all happening fully in-browser.
It is a web service. It is just a simple one that doesn't need to execute any stuff on backend/server.
That makes it a document not a service.
Save the file and run it at will, just like any other local app.
The app runs in an interpreter which is a browser instead of python and a load of libraries, which is no distinction at all.

I'm in the opposite camp. Give me some local tool that does disappear when the maintainer moves to the next thing.
Well and I can eat the cake as well, make it some native app that has proper performance.
What is the problem with this app's performance?

This is open source, so whether or not it's a web app should make no difference here
It is a local tool. You have what you say you want already.
It just uses a browser as the interpreter environment and super effortless one-click instantaneous install process.
But it is local, it's just a web service.
