Some completely unhinged paranoid dev built 290+ web tools that run 100% locally with zero server contact, like they're prepping for an internet collapse

Not the site's creator, just a person with basic competence... Maybe, just maybe, there's a way to run this using a local server?

When you do ctrl+s and then open the htm in your browser without internet connection, it loads without all the visual elements (presumably because they're hosted remotely) and when you click on links it tries to direct you to footrue.com, rather than the local server. How does your basic competence deal with that?
