The distributed part of Earthstar seems like the selling point? Otherwise, it certainly does not have the range of database capabilities of either PGlite or SQLite, which also work offline, store data locally, and work in the browser. What do you get from the distributed nature of Earthstar? Backup? That's pretty simple with both SQLite and PGlite too, so I'm not sure I see a big benefit for most db users. The win seems to come from people who want to store data on their machines AND share that data with other individuals who also get local copies. Maybe this is for pirating content?
