noteself is based on a library which can be found at pouchDB.com. It is based on the browser indexedDB <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API>. indexedDB is a different (younger) browser storage model, that was invented to solve problems with the browser SessionStorage and LocalStorage. Session- and LocalStorage are also known as WebStorage IndexedDB has improved data handling, but its data is still hidden from the user, inside the browser. There are limits <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API/Browser_storage_limits_and_eviction_criteria#Storage_limits>, which are _not_ deterministic, which is the biggest problem. App developers need some sort of guarantee. Without these guarantees and the browser "eviction strategy <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API/Browser_storage_limits_and_eviction_criteria#LRU_policy>" it makes the whole thing a gamble, if you want to store other than temporary data. ------------- We are still talking about MBytes of temporary data, but depending on the device free space, the browser you use .. nobody can give guarantees for persistent data. -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
