Benjamin Smith 2021-12-22 03:29:49 Hi all! New here, I wanted to share something I made over the weekend that I thought some people here might find interesting/have thoughts on. It's a self-hosting web code editor that stores and edits "files" in the browser's IndexedDB and uses a service worker to serve them as if there was an actual backend. You can try it out here (only works in Chromium-based browsers because it uses ES modules in the worker): https://reflection-editor.netlify.app/ Source code is also available at https://github.com/Merlin04/reflection.

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: ServiceWorker script at [https://reflection-editor.netlify.app/worker.jsm](https://reflection-editor.netlify.app/worker.jsm) for scope [https://reflection-editor.netlify.app/](https://reflection-editor.netlify.app/) threw an exception during script evaluation.
Benjamin Smith 2021-12-24 01:44:05 @Matthew Linkous Right now there's just editing the source and saving/reloading to run the changes, but that would be a useful feature to add for individual script files!
Benjamin Smith 2021-12-24 01:44:42 I'm not sure how I could troubleshoot that script error, I'm going to try to make it not use ES modules in the worker which should reduce compatibility issues
Florian Schulz 2021-12-24 10:30:13 I haven’t worked with Service Workers, so this is a more general question: would it also be possible to serve images (stored as DataURI) from IndexedDB and have them appear in the network/resources tab (e.g. as my-file-from-indexeddb.png)?
Florian Schulz 2021-12-24 11:16:16 In response to my own question: yes, it is possible to use Service Workers to serve “virtual” synthetic image files from IndexedDB or memory. This is really cool!
