Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

persistent storage API on Firefox temporary extension
You can use File System Standard https://fs.spec.whatwg.org/ to write data for that origin (Firefox doesn't implement File System Access API, nonetheless a File object can still be written to local disk using File API).

I spent two years building a desktop environment that runs in the browser, it's finally in beta!
Both Firefox and Chromium (Chrome) have implemented WHATWG File System Standard.

SQLite WASM in the Browser Backed by the Origin Private File System
Can you just slow down for a moment and focus on what you said?
> We're literally in the discussion about File System API that is:
> - not on any standards track
As others have pointed out the standard is here:
https://fs.spec.whatwg.org/
> - considered harmful by other browser vendors
It is literally being drafted in conjunction by all the major browsers.
> - shipped by default in Chrome
So what? I for one am thankful that Chromium enables features earlier than other browsers. If you don't want the Chromium implementation then don't use it.

Show HN: I built a WASI playground for running CLI binaries in the browser
Score another point for memfs, the in-memory node.js fe impl.
WHATWG recently took up File System Access spec as their FS spec. It both looks semi promising, but they seem to only care about & are only building specs for specifically emscripten wasm users. Only sync apis, only usable from dedicated workers... there's some hopes for more latter but feels super weird to see the web finally get fs access & have it be fast... but for it to be extremely odd shaped hand tailored to a very narrow class of use.

GitHub – GSA/code-gov: An informative repo for all Code.gov repos
https://github.com/simonw/datasette-lite :
> You can use this tool to open any SQLite database file that is hosted online and served with a `access-control-allow-origin: ` CORS header. Files served by GitHub Pages automatically include this header, as do database files that have been published online using `datasette publish`.*
> [...] You can paste in the "raw" URL to a file, but Datasette Lite also has a shortcut: if you paste in the URL to a page on GitHub or a Gist it will automatically convert it to the "raw" URL for you
> To load a Parquet file, pass a URL to `?parquet=`

There are various *-to-sqlite utilities that load data into a SQLite database for use with e.g. datasette. E.g. Pandas with `dtype_backend='arrow'` saves to Parquet.
datasette plugins are written in Python and/or JS w/ pluggy:

[SQLlite] Is there any online SQL editor I can host on my website? Maybe something in JS or php
Datasette Lite might be even better for this - you can construct URLs that link directly to examples: https://github.com/simonw/datasette-lite

SQLite WASM Official
There are some amazing things for SQLite in the browser especially if you're looking for ways to host queryable data for cheap.
I have a hacked up POC experimental version of datasette-lite to be able to look at multi-GB databases at https://github.com/simonw/datasette-lite/pull/49. It uses a hacked up chunk'd lazyFile implementation from emscripten and others to grap pages from Cloudflare R2.
It's a test with california's unclaimed property records (https://www.sco.ca.gov/upd_download_property_records.html) of a 28GB searching up that guy who owns Twitter: https://datasette-lite-lab.mindflakes.com/index.html?url=htt...
I think there may be a space for super-large multi-GB files served from static storage being accessible from SQlite as well. Another one would be this full-text search of a 43GB SQLite database of Wikipedia's full text search: http://static.wiki/ . Hearing there's official support for this is awesome and I hope they also might add some provisions for those sticking with POSIX/Emscripten as well.

Hosting SQLite Databases on GitHub Pages
I grafted the enhanced lazyFile implementation of this to datasette-lite relatively recently. Threw in a 18GB CSV from
https://www.sco.ca.gov/upd_download_property_records.html
into a FTS5 Sqlite Database which came out to about 28GB after processing:
POC, non-merging Draft PR for the hack:
https://github.com/simonw/datasette-lite/pull/49
You can run queries through it if you URL hack into it and just get to the query dialog, browsing is kind of a dud at the moment since datasette runs a count(*) which downloads everything.

Datasette Lite: a server-side Python web application running in a browser
I have an open issue for that here: https://github.com/simonw/datasette-lite/issues/28
My initial hunch is that this will be really difficult - probably require a fork of something like https://github.com/coleifer/pysqlite3 then compiled for WebAssembly.
I'm confident it's feasible, but I don't have the skills to figure it out myself.
