Description

Hello, apologies for what is probably a very elementary question. I've successfully got Hive running on web and seems the data is persistent between app launches (phew!).

However - maybe I'm missing the premise of the tool, but where exactly is the database stored in a web deployment? I can see it in Inspect -> Application -> Storage -> IndexedDB but in my directory where I host index.html I don't see any newly created files as elements are added / removed. Am I misunderstanding how Hive works? Thanks! The tool seems great.

Edit: Looking more into IndexedDB it appears it is strictly local to the user (hence no files being created). If I am correct on this, is there any NoSQL solution for web that will actually write/read a DB on the server that hosts index.html?

Research direction

Start with the web deployment behavior described in the issue and inspect the browser's IndexedDB for a fresh Hive app. Review the repository's web-storage documentation or examples, then document whether data is written beside index.html and how server-side persistence is handled. Done when the storage location and deployment scope are unambiguous.
