Show HN: Peer-to-peer Collaborative databases in the browser

I have been trying to run SQLite in the browser using WebAssembly, then I had an idea, why not make it collaborative using WebRTC? This way, you wouldn't need a centralized server to share data with other people.

When you open the website, a persistent SQLite database will be created. When you join a room with other peers, any SQL statements or file imports by any peer will be replicated to the rest of other peers using WebRTC.

This actually solves a problem I face when I need to share some data to analyze it with other people because we use Google Sheets, but I don't like analyzing data using spreadsheets, I find SQL to be much better, so this project allows me to leverage the full power of SQL(ite) and also be able to collaborate with other people.
