Neat. Can you use duckdb backed on another store like rocksdb or something? Also, I wonder how one stops ddos. Put the whole thing behind Cloudflare?

How… does it not blow up browser’s memory?

The UI element is a scrollable table with a fixed size viewport window, memory shouldn't be a problem since they just have to retrieve and cache a reasonable area around that window. Old data can just be discarded.

This is brilliant guys, omg this is brilliant. If you think about it, freely available data always suffer with this burden... "But but we don't make money, all this stuff is public data by law, and government doesn't give us a budget". This solves that, the "can't afford it" spirit of public agencies.
