Front End Data

on YouTube ↗51m

" summary

A quick, concrete tour of front-end storage: demos show 1MB JSON in localStorage powering instant php.net autocompletes, a service workers offline launch conference app, CouchDB/PouchDB syncing between Chrome/Firefox/Safari, DevDocs using AppCache+IndexedDB for offline API search, and an npm browser that stores 850–900MB locally in IndexedDB/WebSQL. Panel covers tooling (localForage, Dexie, PouchDB), IndexedDB’s painful low-level API, durability and permission/UX gaps, and why syncing and conflict resolution belong to libraries not a single browser standard.
