I am fully on the offline-first bandwagon after starting to use cr-sqlite (https://vlcn.io), which works similar to ElectricSQL.
I thought the bundle size of wasm-sqlite would be prohibitive, but it's surprisingly quick to download and boot. Reducing network reliance solves so many problems and corner-cases in my web app. Having access to local data makes everything very snappy too - the user experience is much better. Even if the user's offline data is wiped by the browser (offline storage limits are a bit of a minefield), it is straightforward to get all synced changes back from the server.

Yes, I have trialled this. I've found it works best with this workflow:
1. Summarise some prose (from a textbook) into bullet points
2. Convert these to flashcards
3. Make these flashcards more concise
Some of the API naming is similar (db_version, site_id, seq, commit_alter, etc), although the project source is very different (C rather than Rust, different feature set).
crsqlite is no longer maintained so I might be interested in migrating.
