I made a repo, mostly so I could easily set this up on new machines. Basically, it's a self-hosted offline private version of Grammarly.

Go forth, and use good grammar! 🔮

Kind of offtopic: Can we call something offline if you need a server to run it?

Sure, you could run it on your own PC and that's it, but I don't think that method fit well with this community

Er... maybe I am misunderstanding your post but this community is literally built around hosting your own local infrastructure.

That's part of it, but using a dedicated server, colocated server, or VPS are also considered "self hosted" too. "self hosted" is broader than just having a server at home, and means any server, web service, etc where you maintain it yourself.

Hardware in your own house is generally referred to as a "home lab".

Offline as in, the server software doesn't require the internet.

Yes, you absolutely could do that. You can run it locally and access it on localhost:8010

Also, even if you have it on a server on the LAN, many people would consider LAN “offline”.

Yeah offline means off cloud at this point

You can run it on your laptop. I do.

"Server" in this case refers to client-server architecture.

That said this community is about hosting things on a computer you own which can very much be online. But this one works offline too.
