This method is not available on all devices and does not support sharing or collaboration.

The website, however, works on any platform and allows working together in a single shared database.

how does collaboration works for SQLite, since the db is embedded?

    When you upload a database to the site, it is stored in your browser's memory or uses OpFS — a local storage within your browser.

    You can share a link to grant access to your database, with the connection handled via P2P through WebRTC.

    Uhm, by allowing multiple people to connect to the same database through a webapp like this?

you can just share the file, huh

collaboration sounds nice though, it definitely has a market considering 11k daily users.

    If the database is loaded from an external source (as shown in the examples), using the "Share Script" feature automatically attaches a link to the database. The link allows both the database and the script to be accessed and loaded.

The parent cites "hassle of creating the database" and does not mention sharing or collaborating. I showed that it doesn't get more hassle-free than this and doesn't even require connectivity (which might be a problem "on some devices" or "in some locations").

    You are just trying to prove a point instead of understanding it.

    He might just have summarized everything as "hassle of creating the database".

    Not everything on internet is supposed to be a debate with highly and carefully developped wording.

      You are also making an assumption, though. That person might not have known "sqlite3 mydb.db" is all you need to create a sqlite database.

        It was just one item in a list and they used "etc." which prob refers to all the other obvious upsides, like why you would use pgadmin/postico to write postgres queries instead of psql cli.

        So to double down on that one detail as if it were a load bearing remark comes off as trying to win a point.

        If `sqlite3 test.db` launched a rich UI with tabs and such, then maybe they'd be onto something, but it does not.
