> localStorage suffers from issues like size limits and performance

Absolutely, but _it works_ and nothing trumps working code ;). A slow and space-limited database is better than none at all!

We implemented that functionality primarily to make peoples' eyes bug out ;), but also so that folks who don't yet have OPFS can have some form of persistent sqlite databases.
