PouchDB.js.
PouchDB is, in my opinion, an overlooked gem that deserves more attention.
For small tools you don't even need a backend. It uses your web browser's built-in DB
- lucas_membrane 7y agoWhat are the limits (per app, per user, per browser install) for amount of data, number of rows, etc in browser built-in DB's nowadays?
- oblib 7y agoI really don't know the answers to that, but I did do a bit of testing on my old Mac Mini (late 2009, 8GB ram). I wrote a script that created 1000 documents that were pretty small just a few k at most. The app I wrote using pouchdb to use find and edit them started choking when Safari had about 5000 documents stored in it. If you install CouchDB on your local box, or a remote server, and configure PouchDB to use your CouchDB to store and access those docs you can probably have 10s of 1000s and I know you can scale that up to millions of documents with the right hardware. You can get industrial strength remote CouchDBs from IBM and CouchBase for a pretty reasonable fee too. And you can run PouchDB with Node,js on a server and store your docs on it. So there are a lot of ways to use it.
