I am getting various responses to this like, "Looking forward to your twitter archive creator! What happens with my twitter data when I upload it to your service? How do you expect me to upload a multi-gigabyte zip file?"

You don't know me very well. There is no upload at all. There's no service, no server. The data stays on your computer. Everything happens in the browser client :AngelDevil:

We are all so trained to assume that "web application" means "a server does the work"!

@darius Maybe you can explain on the page your data isn't actually uploaded. The people at loudnesspenalty.com also do this for example :)

@darius What if we want to post our Twitter archive as a searchable database online?

@darius This made me think, because it's a thing that's currently impossible to prove to users, but what if browsers had an irreversible `navigator.disconnect()`, plus a UI indicator?
