I was shocked when I discovered I couldn't write a simple JS/HTML application and connect it to a local DB like SQLite without going through a server.

You can access a database locally, at least as of the past couple years. It's called IndexedDB. People quibble about the API, the features, the browser support (Firefox, Chrome and IE10 only), etc... but it is a real database you can use locally.

Not locally: in the browser. He wants to connect it to a LOCAL db (on his desktop).

In the browser is local. Local, as opposed to remote.
