Thats cool! Any reason you do it in multiple distinct chunks vs mutating a single chunk?

I'm assuming the time required to store and request a massive blob gets excessive at some point, but were there any other reasons?

It is because IndexedDB maximum row size is not that big, and depends on the browsers
