thank you for pointing that out, yes. I just saw the video uses indexedDB (probably suboptimal although mdn says its ok for storing complex data on the client) and also its just for 'bridging' no internet access when doing input on the device. thank you for taking the time to answer, I see a bit clearer now.

IndexedDB is fine - just use some wrapped that makes it easier to work with. Our current SQLite implementation actually stores the underlying data inside IndexedDB - mostly due to a lack of better options (but that's busy changing with OPFS).

The difficult parts are mostly related to keeping the local data in sync with the server, whether that uses SQLite, IndexedDB or some other database.
