I’m working on a hobby-project that uses IndexedDB for persistent client-side storage, and it really feels like W3C made some very bad design decision and than instead of fixing they they have just given up on the standard. Issues like not being able to index values in objects in arrays [1] (not even in fixed position e.g. "key.path.[0].value") despite almost a decade of developers asking for it, a very limited query syntax, and even the documentation on MDN seems of very lower quality than the rest of the web docs.

I’m happy that we are actually be able to use SQL in the browser now (although I would rather skip the MBs of the bundle bloat). But I feel like the standards committee will now have even less of a reason to fix the very broken state of IndexedDB.
