I understand, and what you propose can be done - it is the way things used
to be done 10 years ago.

I just wanted to point out that there are many problems with such a setup,
for example every time you make a change to the form, you will have to make
sure all the installations get updated. If you want to upgrade to a new
version, you will have to do that for each installation.

This is why we have implemented two other solutions for offline data
collection, namely local storage in the browser or on Android devices.
