Why out of scope? It&#x27;s a DB api that has no browser&#x2F;ui dependencies.<p>I see that the levelDB implementation you pointed to can use a backend that uses IndexedDB. So theoretically this levelDB Api could provide an Api that work across both browser and server.<p>But argh. IndexedDB is a standardized api. It has a usable open source implementation in WebKit. Why not just go with that?? Why create a different API that does the same thing? I&#x27;ve been building an entire app around IndexedDB, but now I have to port it to a different Api to run on a server? Why?
