I never understood why someone hasn't made a framework that makes it stupidly easy to fill an HTML page with SQLite database tables, with all the usual display controls, and with as much "liveness" as desired, and with a protocol (over HTTPS) to manage comms to a server-side instance. SQLite is robust, lightweight, bulletproof - a WASM build belongs on ALL the webpages !

As mentioned below I have been building the 'read' side of this: a data publication platform. I wanted to avoid any server side components. The communication / write part and updating the server-side sqlite database would need running components on the server which I wanted to avoid.

The 'write' part would technically be very doable and not that different from other back-ends.
