Sqlite3 WebAssembly

So after downloading from the official downloads page and stripping away all the mjs files and "bundler-friendly" files, a minimal sqlite wasm dependency will be about 1.3MB.

For an in-browser app, that seems a bit much but of course wasm runs in other places these days where it might make more sense.

1.3MB seems perfectly reasonable in a modern web app, especially since it will be cached after the first visit to the site.

If you’re just storing user preferences, obviously don’t download SQLite for your web app just to do that… but if you’re doing something that benefits from a full database, don’t fret so much about 1MB that you go try to reinvent the wheel for no reason.

If the other comment is correct, then it won’t even be 1.3MB on the network anyways.

A megabyte here, a megabyte there, pretty soon you’re talking about a really heavyweight app.
