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.

WordPress Core to start using SQLite Database
Before they added SQLite as WP plugin, I would use https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db/ and I would use `define('DB_DIR', '/absolute/custom/path/to/directory/for/sqlite/database/file/');` to define the database location of my choice; I believe they would let users do the same with core support.

WordPress to support SQLite back end
They basically took this implementation and just adapted it to coding standards:
https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db
This has been around since some time and is itself a fork of a previous work.
The interesting part is that this drop-in replacement (mostly) already works well, there are a few issues that are related to some quirks in the WordPress core itself, for example: https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db/issues/18
And maybe now they will be fixed.

WordPress WASM
Author here, here's an in-depth writeup on how this works and why it's useful:
https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/09/23/client-side-webas...
To answer your questions directly:
WebAssembly is the magic sauce that transforms server-side code into client-side code. MySQL unfortunately is not yet supported by WebAssembly, so I applied a plugin that adds SQLite supports to WordPress [0]. The WebAssembly application has its own in-memory filesystem that lives in a specific browser tab and is scraped as soon as you close it.
So โ technically it exposes db credentials, and even the entire DB, but that you are the only user of that DB so it's okay.
> What would the backend look like
The only backend is a static file server where the code and the database live. Your browser downloads a copy of the database and allows you to modify it in the current tab, but the updates are never saved back to the server.

A proposal to officially support SQLite in WordPress
1. Plugins that register their own database tables (however there already exists prior art such as https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db for handling these cases)
2. Plugins that do direct queries against the standard database schema (broadly either for invalid (bad code) or performance (valid but slim use case) reasons)
Also, WordPress would of course keep the old query functions around and they would likely add a tag to the plugin repository so authors can mark plugins as supporting thes new ORM features.
Great idea in my opinion!

SQLite or PostgreSQL? It's Complicated
There's a WordPress plugin that adds support for SQLite as an alternative to MySQL.
Apparently it works really well. The implementation is (to my) simply astonishing: they run regular expressions against the SQL to convert it from MySQL dialect to SQLite! https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db/blob/9a5604cce13...

WASM SQL database recommendations wanted
Not really, but I'm aware of absurd-sql. Note that this requires IndexedDB and thus a browser environment.
-
Best local database that works on all platforms including web?
I don't need SQL capabilities, so I didn't look into those options (there's also absurd-sql, which ports sqlite to the browser on top of IndexedDB).

SQLite WASM in the Browser Backed by the Origin Private File System
Ironically I was just about to drop in absurd-sql [1] to a project, which uses indexeddb to back SQLite. This seems better.

Irmin in the Browser (OCaml/MirageOS)
There is also absurd-sql that is sqlite3 in wasm using IndexDB as storage and itโs faster than IndexDB itself

Offline data: running it in the browser for an offline cache, similar to sql.js or absurd-sql.

Learn PWA
We are very close to having WASM SQLite with persistence in the web platform. Until now SQLite compiled to WASM was in memory and you had to write the whole database out as a binary array to save changes. There is absurd-sql (https://github.com/jlongster/absurd-sql), which builds a virtual file system on top of IndexedDB for sqlite, its incredible, but a bit of an ugly hack.
However, the new file-access apis (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System...) that are landing in browsers will fix this. One of the things it does is enable very efficient block level read/write access to a privet sandboxed filesystem for the websites origin, perfect for persistent sqlite. There is more here: https://web.dev/file-system-access/#accessing-files-optimize...
