Overall I think using SQLite locally to offload database work is incredibly powerful. Given most laptops have an SSD now a days, you can scan an entire 30-100MiB SQLite db in miliseconds.

Meanwhile in AWS you would pay $27k a month to have the same IOPS as a Lenovo Thinkpad X1.

I just got done with a side project using WASM SQLite as well, it's incredibly powerful, even supports full text search.

My project "cluttr" is a local first site that focuses on cleaning up your screen shots folder and making it searchable via OCR. All in browser.

It also supports using Ollama to run a vision model against your images to provide more context.

Really helpful if you take a lot of screenshots for clients or PMs and need to find them later. The best part is 99% of the hosting cost is offloaded to the client, so I am not really worried about a large server bill.
