This is why a web client makes sense. Something like Electron/Tauri works great. The only thing you really need is unbundling the browser engine to reduce memory usage.

0 copy transfer of strings and blobs to SQLite?

I believe thats what happens in my sqlite debby wrapper: I am never re-encoding the string just passing pointers and length to bind. I assume no copy happens but I have not verified this with a debugger. It sucks that mys

@Arag, as the originator of this idea/wishlist, could you sum up your preferences of the tools and libraries with which it would be best to start with as a base for this new UI library? Currently my intuitive first step would be **one** of the following: * Starting with the great libraries th

Also... maybe it's my subjective feelings, but it's kinda winner takes all game, market became more extreme, there's not much money for not-top app. Take look at mobile apps stats (or PC apps if you wish) - like 90% usage for top apps. All other apps - tens of thousands, fight for pennies in tho

Problem with UI is that unlike say games, it's kinda boring, and there're not much people who would do it for free. Good UI library require at least 2 people (coder and designer, or rare individual who combine two skills) to sat on ass and star into PC screen for a year or two. Given that there

[This thread on SQLite](https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/284d557096) peaked my interest. Especially post 6.1 pointing [to a Rust library](https://github.com/vlcn-io/sqlite-rs-embedded) . Is this done in Nim / can it be done in Nim? (not a (library) feature request, purely interest)
