Interesting that it could be done at all - but having a hard time coming up with any real world use cases for this. Are there any?
I work on a web framework for building data apps like reports and dashboards, and we use duckDB’s WASM runtime for interactions (e.g when a user changes a date range filter). It’s really fast, and you don’t spend snowflake credits.

It can persist data to indexedDB, so web applications can use it if they want a more flexible alternative
This seems possible due to the separation of Postgres storage and compute work done by Neon?
This is awesome. Are extensions like PostGIS supported? I wish react-native natively supported WASM. It would be cool to run this client-side instead of sqlite.

- You want your app to be local first (snappy, great offline support, etc) but sync data to a server. This is the ElectricSQL use case.
- You want a serious data store in-browser. SQLite via wasm already fits this use case, but it's nice to have options.
