Hmm... I was in the middle of rewriting an application of mine from JSON stringify into localStorage to IndexedDB, but was having issues with the API being so clunky. This is a tempting alternative. It does increase size from ~200kb by a whole mb, but the app's usage patterns are such that people open it and then use it for extended periods of time in the background.

Careful with IndexedDB. There was a post here recently about how it is 100% broken on safari right now.
Honestly it's a hobby project at the moment. Mac users can just use Chrome or Firefox. It's not worth my money to get the electron build running for mac, or my time to work around safari bugs.

The design is very much a 00s throwback with a lot of density and power compared to more modern apps in the same category, so Mac users are unlikely to like it anyway. I was just tired of the older apps lacking modern features I like while the apps with the modern features were clearly mobile/touch first and so much slower for bulk operations than their older competitors as a consequence.
