Ashwin - I am still considering various options. You have a point with offline clearing of cache. I would think that with offline storage like * IndexedDB* would not be deleted if the user clear the cache. At least the user will be prompted if an application data is going to be cleared. I am not sure how it works. My main point is I really do not want to invest in another technology for building a local app. I would want to use all the GWT code written so far. Also it should be easy to update chrome apps. This should simplify the distribution also.
Also I think I would have to use hybrid approach of storing data in cloud. But I have the challenge of security. I would may be need to encrypt data using a key which only resides locally. There are lot of unknowns and I would have to figure out. Vishal On Thursday, July 12, 2012 11:01:05 AM UTC+5:30, Ashwin Desikan wrote: > > Vishal, > > What options have you considered so far?
