  1. Use a hand-modified-to-ESM version of SQL.js, which is SQLite in JavaScript.
  2. Get a database ready that SQL.js can query.
  3. Build a Houdini PaintWorklet that executes queries in JavaScript and paints the results back to the screen in that -y way that PaintWorklets do.
  4. Pass the query you want to run into the worklet by way of a CSS custom property.

It's not the best UI, but you can also view your comment from a standard web browser, just to see how it looks. The advantage to the web browser is that it is always by definition maximally up-to-date:-) - though its baseline functionality may still be lower than an app if the latter is done well.
