Hey @alichherawalla

Looks great. And, really cool app!!

But, would you mind if we waited another few weeks, until Off Grid has been around for at least 3 months. Only because there is a LOT of AI apps at the moment, and the majority of them get published and then abandoned.

I'm also thinking of creating a new section AI, gen and chat in awesome-privacy, so after I do so, Off Grid will fit really neatly in there. (and I'm open to suggestions if you have any thoughts about the AI section!).

Very small comment, but where handlers.ts is used to do Brave web search, I think that should be mentioned in your Privacy Policy doc. Not because it's an issue, but just so it's clear to user's when external data transmission does happen. (And question on this- why scrape Brave search, instead of just using their API?)
