Building off what others have pointed out about sqlite not being a good choice for a browser standard, I just want to note that the approach laid out in the article is exactly the right approach to integrate sqlite into a web app: a web app links a version from a well-maintained “distro”. The issues inherent in trying to use an implementation as a specification and standard go away, while a “distro” maintained by experts will lower the bar to entry.

I think devs should be happy, not sad. It looks like we’re finally getting it right, and will have a feasible way to add the incredible sqlite to the set tools we have available to make web apps.

Hopefully absurd-sql keeps going and browsers adopt a good storage standard.
