I'm using SQL.js and it's great!

A few weeks ago, I built a program to help find jobs in New Zealand and Australia. It scrapes the Seek website, and allows me to make more complex queries (e.g. does not contain "right to live and work in this location")

Currently I'm running the scraper on a spare laptop manually every day or two. I'd rather set it up to work with Github Actions, but didn't get around to that yet.

Very cool. I use it to teach SQL. I added a CodeMirror region for editing SQL code and have buttons that load a few example databases. The advantage of this is that students do not have to install anything, they can just visit the web site, and they can practice destructive steps like deleting rows or a table, and then just reset everything with a button click. Discovering SQL.js was a huge moment.
