SQLite WASM in the Browser Backed by the Origin Private File System

That's why I wrote this: "in true Google fashion Chrome team implemented and released at least three different APIs all having something to do with files." :)

I didn't want to dig through all of them on mobile when I was responding.

Both Safari and Mozilla are open (and implement/have implemented) to Origin Private File System. Because it gives web sites an access to a file system without a chance of escaping and damaging user data. Can't remember which spec introduced it, and it doesn't really matter at this point.

For the more general part of File System Access Mozilla's and Safari's positions are: nope. https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/154

There was also Storage Foundation API but it was thankfully never shipped (it was like a third way of handling files or something),and also received negative responses: https://chromestatus.com/feature/5670244905385984

  Expose the file system on the user’s device, so Web apps can interoperate with the user’s native applications.

  

Where file handling is concerned, there are at least

- File System Access API, https://wicg.github.io/file-system-access/

- File Handling, https://github.com/WICG/file-handling/blob/master/explainer....

- Origin Private File System, https://github.com/WICG/file-system-access/blob/main/AccessH...

There was also Storage Foundation API to which the reaction was "I don't think it's an acceptable outcome for the web platform to have that many ways to work with files" :) https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/481 This one never saw the light of day.

  File System Standard (by whatwg)

  

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:

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.

  sqlite3 in ur indexeddb (hopefully a better backend soon)

Ironically I was just about to drop in absurd-sql [1] to a project, which uses indexeddb to back SQLite. This seems better.

I haven't maintained a Vim config in a few years now (more of an Emacs man now), but I do remember using Goyo in college. Looking back at it, I think it might scratch your itch as far as Vim plugins go, it even allows you to resize the area on the fly.

• construct-stylesheets

  API for constructing CSS stylesheet objects

  

I literally provided just some of the examples. Those are easily verifiable.

Web Transport is shipped by default. What was the input from other browser?

Here's the timeline for HID: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/459#is...

Constructible Stylesheets: the spec contained a trivially reproducible race condition, the API was badly specified. Google shipped against any objections and refused to bring it back under the flag. Full discussion here: https://github.com/WICG/construct-stylesheets/issues/45. Shipped in Chrome https://github.com/WICG/construct-stylesheets/issues/45#issu... (may be hidden on mobile) despite multiple unresolved issues. Two years later Chrome did add a better API that people originally requested, other issues potentially remain.
