I agree. I was completely unimpressed. It's basically a few javascript classes built on sqllite with the ability to store data locally (beyond cookies which are less reliable and hard to store a lot of data in).
I've had an idea for a while that is similar to this, but much more in depth. This seems like a real half-assed effort.

Call me pedantic if you want to. But it doesn't change facts though.
