    You can't, but as the author I can assure you that I'm very trustworthy lol I've been thinking about a standalone version for a while, but haven't gotten around to it. You could us…

    https://beta.sqliteviewer.app uses this (with some modifications) under the hood. Since it's OPFS-based instead of in-memory, it can open much larger sqlite files, up to the browse…

    In my view it's the other way around. If you stick to a state machine for your app logic, you'll end up with an unintentional half built reimplementation of a general purpose progr…

    If you can do with an even leighter-weight client, you can try my very own https://sqliteviewer.app . It's all browser/wasm-based and works offline, but has some important shortcom…

    Just awful. 10 years in the making (if you can call endless bikeshedding committee meetings the "making" of anything) and still barely usable. It offers nothing in way of ensuring …

    I've once built a vscode extension. I didn't expect much, but was still suprised at the complete lack of feedback, reviews, etc. despite many downloads. One day I've added a popup …

    No sure if I’m missing something, but you can tap directly into the readable stream of fetch which should be at least as good as progress events? I’ve used it here ( https://sqlite…

    If you just need a quick tool for viewing SQLite files, you can try https://sqliteviewer.app

    Sounds like a service worker, for which there's only one active at a time for all tabs (and can communicate with them) could help with your client side issues.

    It's great and I'm using it for https://sqliteviewer.app . It would be even better if it allowed partial reads/writes with offsets, but alas, security concerns seem to block that. …

    I suggest opening the dev console and adding "text-transform: uppercase" to the body element which makes it more obvious that it is in fact the same font as in the 1970s drawing. I…

    Came here to comment the design as well. Love to cinally see deviation from the stripe template and even more happy to see elements from 90s ui design reintroduced. One can even te…

    I've been wondering if non-turning complete languages might be the way to go for many smart contracts, which often resemble vending machines more than what general purpose language…

    actually there appears to be a limit to this. i’ve never been able to perform more than ~50 http requests per invocation, leading me to believe that they are “billed” with 1ms cpu …

    There's lots of things going on this this space. It seems every other day I discover another Cloudflare Workers-like implementation (granted, most of them are for testing/developme…

    One can make the argument that Beat Saber is the #1 use for VR right now. It not only tops Oculus' Top-Selling list by a comfortable 3x margin (assuming # of ratings are a good pro…

    Something I do sometimes is launch Chrome with --disable-web-security --user-data-dir=tmp This disables almost everything that's annoying during development. Of course you have to …

    Ask HN: Why aren't more people using S/MIME email encryption?

    Let me start by saying that I didn't know this standard existed until about 2 days ago. S/MIME seems to be built into most major email software (?) and is surprisingly usable. Not …

    Probably John Gray more than anyone. Taleb seems to be quite fond of him. Also, here is a list of authors Taleb himself considers to be, in classic Taleb fashion, "non BS vendors":…
