Wow reading this somehow makes me wanna cry 😭 notion.so/blog/how-we-sped-up- (via HN news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4)

- "Using SQLite improved page navigation times by 20 percent in all modern browsers."
- "Multiple tabs might be open, and each tab had a dedicated Web Worker that had an active connection to the SQLite database."
- "we loaded WASM SQLite completely asynchronously and ensured that it didn’t block the page load."

@cheeaun Why did you say not WASM SQLite? Just curious, not a challenge 🙂

@hallenbeck @cheeaun Not to put words in their mouth, but I guess they'd prefer it to be native, for better performance (and it also makes sense because browsers usually already have SQLite embedded).

I could also see the near future when loading 5 different sites in separate tabs loads 5 slightly different versions of WASM-SQLite. You thought browsers were bloated now? 🤪

On the bright side, however, using WASM would mean that devs aren't obligated to code around broken native implementations, or missing features on some versions. This may be worth the resource impact.

@wikicliff @hallenbeck @cheeaun To be fair, you probably still have it now with 5 different versions of React.

So when do we get WASM-React? 😜
