Ever since the idea of a modular phone was first introduced "Phonebloks, or
whatever it was" I have known for a fact that it was a fundamentally flawed
concept and would never see the light of day, despite the enormous hype and
support it received.

Is this proof that I am more intelligent than everyone who believed in this
idea? I think so?

The great thing is that we're on the verge of not needing Web SQL anymore.
sql.js
([https://github.com/kripken/sql.js](https://github.com/kripken/sql.js)) is
SQLite compiled to JS (via Emscripten). It can do everything you'd normally do
with SQLite. You can take the db and serialize it down into a format that can
be stored in local storage, and rehydrate the DB from that when a user returns
to your site.

The only thing preventing this from being practical is that sql.js weighs in
at around 2MB. Still, there are caching mechanisms that could get around that
issue.

I think it's fantastic that we've reached the point where we don't need
databases baked into our browsers. All we need is fast JS engines (which we
have) and a dumb data store (which we have), and we can provide our own client
side databases.
