Show HN: Storex – A modular and portable database abstraction for JavaScript

We’d like to show you Storex, a database abstraction layer that allows you to move your database interaction code between client- and server-side. By surrounding it with modular, recombinable packages for common problems such as schema migrations, it’s possible to re-use logic touching the database across a wide variety of databases, allowing you to develop your code entirely in-browser in your daily development workflow, and then move your database to PostgreSQL/MySQL back-end once you’re ready. Right now it’s being used in WorldBrain’s Memex (worldbrain.io) to provide you with a client-side full-text searchable database of every page you’ve seen online and your annotations on them (up to 5GB of data for some of our users.)
