Offline-first web apps. Think of all of the "native mobile apps" that could actually be done as a web app, but instead get built as native applications just because the application needs to store data.

Also Electron apps. It's currently pretty painful getting sqlite working with Electron, this could be a nice alternative.

Have you tried the emscripten port of SQLite? It's worked well for me... http://github.com/kripken/sql.js

I've tried it, the main problem I have withe it is that the whole DB has to be loaded into memory. It seems like it would be slow and unwieldy with even a moderate sized database. I'm still keeping it open as an option, but I like that Lovefield uses indexedb under the sheets.
