Please make it work without a login, at least offer some free to use searaches so that we can see how it works.

New comment by gamebak in "What if the browser was the server?"

I think a lot of companies already trying to use this stuff, not SQL related but rather focusing more on the frontend. In reality, this causes more issues, like data fragmentation, versioning between different versions, security and at the end of the day it's a either a dev cost or server cost to implement this.

Usually, server costs are much much cheaper than dev cost to implement all this into FE, but it's a viable thing for the future.

noob question, but how can you create a localhost:3000 port, when ported to wasm, in the browser?

I think this is a cool demo for you to show, at least in my mind this might be a little mind blowing + maybe a db?

I know there are wasm dbs availble that are very light, but so that maybe it's a plus to consider.

This article resonated with me, another fellow pawn script, but I used to do mods in the old half life and counter-strike and some other hl mods. Similarily I started from ms-dos, pascal from school and slowly went to the html part. I had the impression that my programming desire just faded in time with so many jobs, but It might be what you described as burnout... who knows, but I learned something from this.

Best of luck!

This is amazing! But beware admin, it seems that the RAM can be hijacked and increased...

I share your thoughts. Sometimes you just need to be at the right place, at the right time, solving the exact problem and this is troublesome, especially in this era when so much is already invented.

Maybe I just have a wrong view, but I don't know how to decouple from this.

My side project is about market making in a very particular way / or niched between decentralised exchanges and centralised one. The good thing is that this industry is so big that even as a small competitor I can do a lot. I don't have a product, just a basic page that's broken here and there https://asset.plus/, my actual revenue comes from my bots trading. I am currently expanding my infrastructure, but I really have to take care of costs because servers for low latency are expensive.

I share the exact feeling as you do, it's a lot of bs that has almost no value. None of those problems reflect what business needs to solve; everything today can be Googled and fixed with straightforward code.

Usually, the computing part isn't the part that prevents a business from scaling more (servers are cheap).
