not yet available as open source. Open-source has two main purposes I think: trust, and customizing/integrating it into other products.

On the first part, since everything happens in the browser, anyone can see the html/javascript and inspect the Network tab and see that no network requests are made that send their PDF anywhere.

And on the second part, I think most people who use the software aren't developers and won't want to modify it, and I don't particularly see a use case for integrating this software into another one, outside maybe an internal corporate scenario.

Though, maybe I'll add something where you can pay to get the desktop version, similar to what Sejda does.
