Is IndexedDB actually... viable in 2026? Or am I wasting my time?
I’ve been diving into local storage options for a project that needs to handle a decent amount of data (encrypted strings and some blobs).
everyone says IDB is the "standard" for this, but honestly, is offline-mode even a thing anymore for modern web apps?
i feel like most devs just rely on constant API calls now because "everyone is always online."
also, I tried implementing fuzzy search using **Fuse.js** on top of the data I was pulling from IDB, and the performance was a nightmare once the dataset grew as it needs to fetch everything into the memory to perform the search on them.
so, I actually had to rip the fuzzy search out because the lag was killing the UX.
is anyone actually using indexeddb in production successfully for large datasets...or is it just a legacy headache that we should replace with better API/Cloud architecture?
