Oh, that's an excellent way to start if you're building a database in CSS.

  1. Use a hand-modified-to-ESM version of SQL.js, which is SQLite in JavaScript.
  2. Get a database ready that SQL.js can query.

  4. Pass the query you want to run into the worklet by way of a CSS custom property.

  1. Go straight to jail.

Edit: No idea what's up with the formatting. In my app this shows as step 5 but it seems to render as step 1. Is the Lemmy DB done in CSS?

This is a Markdown issue really. Starting a line with a number and then a dot turns that line into an item in an ordered list. The most common behaviour (that I've seen) is to start that list from 1, regardless of what number is used. The intent is to make it easy to add items later without renumbering everything, for living documents at least.

That's fine as long as you don't need it to be centered.

Vertically AND horizontally, please.
