Show HN: I built a free trivia hosting app with no accounts or subscriptions (quiztoolkit.com)

It's basically a fancy wrapper around your quiz data so that as a host you can show showmanship and present like a TV show host. Built exclusively for the use case of live quiz/trivia hosting with friends and family, in person or over zoom. Few features I always lacked and few problems with other alternatives that this web app solves: 1. Keeping costs low or free since most apps require a subscription, and much like geoguessr, I don't want to pay a monthly fee for something I may use very occasionally. Since I don't store any data and it remains in local browser storage, no need for accounts/auth and cloud storage (of-course there were trade-offs) 2. Doing buzzer rounds or audio/video clues that previously required using different apps. 3. Friction of making accounts or downloading apps. This works completely in browser using laptop and phones. 4. As a quiz master or host, I don't like being tied to my laptop when hosting, so I made a quiz master remote where I can control the entire quiz using my phone and move around freely.
