WebSQL is remarkably simple to use, works on the most popular browsers on mobile and desktop, and gives you the power of SQL. In contrast, IME indexed db felt like pulling teeth. The discussions seem to suggest that institutional intransige

Substack (yes, that substack) discussed this recently: > a slick web page - this is very often (but not always) a sign of a library that put all of its time into slick marketing but has overly-broad scope and is very likely to become aba
