🥳 JavaScript Database (JSDB)¹ version 7.0.0 released
- *Breaking change* JSTable.PERSIST event now uses a parameter object with properties for `type`, `keypath`, `value`, `change`, and `table`. This should make listening for events on your databases much nicer to author. e.g., a snippet from Catalyst² I’m working on:
```js
const settingsTable = db.settings['__table__']
const JSTable = settingsTable.constructor
settingsTable.addListener(JSTable.PERSIST, ({ keypath, value }) => {
switch (keypath) {
case 'servers.serverPoolSize':
console.info('New server pool size requested', value)
this.updateServerPool()
break
// etc.
}
})
```
This new version of JSDB is not in the latest Kitten³ yet as it is a breaking change and I want to make sure I update my sites/apps first if needed. I should have it integrated tomorrow.
To see the simple use case for JSDB in Kitten (the default untyped database that’s easy to get started with and perfect for quick experiments, little sites, etc.), see: https://kitten.small-web.org/tutorials/persistence/
For a more advanced tutorial for creating your own typed databases in Kitten, see the Database App Modules tutorial: https://kitten.small-web.org/tutorials/database-app-modules/
For another example, see: https://codeberg.org/small-tech/jsdb/#table-events
Full change log: https://codeberg.org/small-tech/jsdb/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md#7-0-0-2026-02-10
Enjoy!

Me:
> We need to either take back our institutions from the corporate pod people, or where that's not possible, replace them
Hard to say from the outside whether Mozilla's institutions are reformable, and I doubt anyone on the inside is free to comment honestly in public (hit me up privately, confidentiality guaranteed). But we've definitely reached a point where it's worth setting up a replacement(s).

I'm encouraged by what the Ladybird team and their non-profit are doing;

An IP address is the internet equivalent of a radio frequency. Imagine you could yell a radio station name into a radio, narrowcasting it to an automated station that sent back a frequency for that name, to which your radio tuned itself. That would be the radio equivalent of way the domain name system works on the web.
