AWS Billing reported that I was charged $28.43 over the course of 7 hours, for a total transfer of 306.916 GB. I believe this capture the ~25k page views the site received before I switched over to another static file host.
Lesson learned for me. Thanks to everyone in this thread for saving my wallet.
Thank you. Unfortunately, you'd have to write that stylesheet from scratch. For this demo, I just wrote them in the Svelte components.
sql.js is in memory, but the database file is only partially loaded from the static file host.
Great catch, simonw (and everyone else in this thread).
I've reviewed some other static hosts and settled on wasabi for now. When my S3 bill rolls in, I'll reply to this comment with the damage. A scary number will help others avoid my oversight.
For added fun, you can try switching between different databases:

Thank you, Phiresky. My little side project only exists because of your work.
Yep, you're right. The wikitext -> markdown conversion strips out some links, noticeably on the disambiguation pages, for an unclear reason.
OP here. Happy to take questions, with the caveat that my work here is mostly glue.
