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 use the vscode/codium extension and d

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 browser-determined size limit.

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 programming language. The fact these state machines are

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 shortcomings.

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 that custom elements behave like builtin HTML elem

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 asking for reviews. Virtually all my reviews

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://sqliteviewer.app/ , click “load a sample”) and it w

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'm looking at the File Handl

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. It also makes it look less ugly, in my opinion.

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 tell where the buttons are!

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 languages are used for. Those should be captured by pushdown au

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 time.

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/development). I'm cataloging them here for anyone who&

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 proxy for sales), but also the Most Popular section, ahead

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 remember not to use this browser for browsing

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": https://twitter.com/nntaleb/

I think about windows 95 at least once a month, wondering why the web apps I work on still can’t match it in terms of performance and usability, never mind resource utilization. One thing that has been a staple since win95 days is the abili

I agree that they do look cool. They remind me of euro notes but turned up a notch or two. But I'm wondering what made you decide to go with the generic greek bust heads? Missed opportunity to depict some cryptography and computer pion

fromEntries(), aside from the symmetry with entries() is a really neat feature. For example `Object.fromEntries(new URLSearchParams(window.location.search))` will parse a query string into a nice JS object. This works because the iterator o
