Do you know of any oss projects using absurd? Or maybe an ORM built on top of it? It doesn't seem like there's any ecosystem built around it yet, and their example project is too trivial to be useful. I'd have to have to built even the most basic CRUD functionality from scratch.

It’s really not that much trouble. Most of the ORM like things over IndexedDB introduce extra bugs and slowness for you to deal with anyways - SQLite is millions of times easier to use than IndexedDB, so you’re getting a good deal out of considering AbsurdSQL “just” an ORM for IndexedD… as long as you don’t need to support Safari.

Yeah but you don't need to go through a web worker to use any other database product. Seems like with absurd you'd have to create a separate worker for each query and write your CRUD stuff in a potentially clunky, asynchronous style by passing messages to/from those workers. Sounds painful to me.
