This is an interesting idea. I like the fact that WASM lets you run locally without any server-side orchestration.

As for me, I already find SQLite's documentation to be the best in the business, and I'm not sure that "I need to see examples of these queries" is the most common learner's problem with sqlite. If this resource is targeted at novices, perhaps a cookbook or tutorial approach could work better than a reference.

In particular, I'm sad to see that the famous railway diagrams didn't make it in. Those are such a perfect unambiguous explanation of sqlite's grammar and usage! They're often all I need to refer to.

I see the railway diagrams, but they are hidden as default.

See an example here: https://docs.sqlitecloud.io/docs/sqlite/lang_createtable Under section 1. syntax, there is a "show" button. Press it and the railway diagram becomes visible. :)

The intro page says: "Elevate your learning journey by actively engaging with SQL queries, and transform theoretical knowledge into practical skills."

It makes me very sad that this is considered good, informative English.
