Description
With a few additions, this tool could become an "app"
- serve all assets from domain (https://github.com/simonw/tools/issues/2)
- implement a service worker to cache all files for offline access (here's one I wrote manually, but workbox is probably better)
- create a manifest file with an icon and name
- implement a share target for mobile devices
- implement a file handler
Example of manifest for an app that does all the above: https://github.com/steren/stereo-viewer/blob/main/manifest.json

Research direction
Start by checking the linked issue about serving all assets from the domain, then review the referenced sw.js and manifest.json examples. The work covers offline caching, an app manifest with icon and name, a mobile share target, and a file handler; done means these PWA capabilities work together.
