Using NodeJS to create an offline desktop application

Sqlite is file based. It’s main purpose is to live locally. There is no way of accessing it remotely without implementing some sort of middleware.

And yes, nodejs has filesystem access so it can talk to sqlite.

BTW, you can’t really say nodejs without a server because nodejs is partially a server itself.
Falling deeper down the rabbit hole Wappler’s implementation is based on ExpressJS which is a server framework for Nodejs.
