Yeah without the data being added to a blockchain to automatically sync to my multiple devices, I'mma say no to this.

It's a cool project but I wouldn't use a blockchain for this. Federation is the new hotness, and it's way better, for reasons. So yes, I won't use this until they allow me to federate my browser tabs.

You just need it to send an email on every update with the full db contents and then set up another browser elsewhere to read the emails and update their tabs and you'll have state of the art federated database replication.

That's right, blockchain = old and busted.

Buc Nasty, what can I say about that blockchain that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan? It is bombed out and depleted...

The entire Pocket business plan

I think it's really not benefitting from some quantum algorithms that exist, so I'm out.

Needs a WASM rewrite now that SQLite support is official. Otherwise little sense to consider this for production.

I assume the WASM rewrite would be via Rust. I think the extra runtime safety would dramatically increase the effectiveness of TabDB.

If it’s not federated then you’re literally supporting genocide in the Levant. The only ethical choice is to spin up a TadBD instance.

It's not blazingly fast. I'm out.

Where can I buy cloud storage with it?

I’m can’t believe that nobody said this but I can’t run this bare metal on my raspberry pi pico. It not being a single header C89 with no dependencies to the stdlib makes it a hard pass for me
