As someone who has extensively used/abused IndexedDB in the development of http://basketball-gm.com/ I can say that I'm really happy to see some serious libraries built on top of IDB. Years ago people said "yeah, it doesn't have all the features of Web SQL, but you could build something like that on top of it" but now that's finally starting to actually happen. Other cool IDB projects are YDN-DB https://github.com/yathit/ydn-db which continues to develop and Dexie https://github.com/dfahlander/Dexie.js/wiki/Dexie.js which is also new. I hope that some time in the near future I can stop writing ugly hacks in raw IDB to account for missing database features and browser incompatibilities. But I worry about losing performance if I delegate too much to one of these libraries (although I haven't really started seriously testing them yet).
