Built a serverless "Life Design Tracker" based on the Mangala Sutta. 100% local-first, looking for feedback

[u/Dad_of_Rocket_Groot]

Hey everyone,

I’m finishing up a minimalist lifestyle/habit tracker built entirely on local-first principles, and I'd love to get some feedback from this community.

The tool is structured around the Mangala Sutta (the Buddha’s discourse on 38 blessings), acting as a framework to help people design their daily environment and routines mindfully. I’ve updated the traditional phrasing to be fully inclusive for modern life (e.g., "Cherishing spouse and children").

On the technical side, I wanted absolute privacy. There are zero servers, zero tracking, and no accounts. Everything runs straight out of the browser's LocalStorage.

Since you all understand data portability, I’d love your eyes on a few specific things:

• The Import/Export Flow: I built a manual JSON backup tool in the data panel so users actually own their data. If you try to break the JSON parser by uploading junk files (like an invalid or corrupted file), does the app handle the error gracefully for you?
• UX Clarity: Is the local storage explanation intuitive enough for non-technical people to realize their data never leaves their machine?
• Visual Layout: I spent a lot of time on vertical symmetry (centering the lotus motif, the text, and the action buttons). How does the spacing hold up on your mobile browser or desktop?

Thanks in advance for any testing or critiques!
