So usually the point in a database is a central location to keep data, so you don't pass various excels around. Or you might want the rich querying ability of SQL to produce detailed reports.

What is the point in a browser based NoSQL database? Browser persistence?

That is one of the best reasons for a browser based database. Imagine that your web application needs to show a list of users and then allow that list to be filtered with search or by user type or age or whatever. Instead of having to write complex logic to loop your array of user objects that you got back from your server, or ask the server directly, you can instead apply a query to the list you already have on screen and it instantly updates to reflect the query you specified...

This allows you to use an MVC pattern when creating your web applications instead of littering your code with complex locked-in logic that will suffer instant code rot and be generally a pain to maintain after a month or two of development.

Its is a NoSQL style database from what I see, so you won't get especially complex queries from it without a fair bit of app level complexity.

Should probably check the query syntax and capabilities before making a judgement?

It said it was based on Mongo DB.
