Now in a Browser Near You: Offline Access and Permanent, Client-Side Storage, Thanks to Dojo.Storage: I’m proud to announce the immediate availability of dojo.storage and a new web-based editor named Moxie.
Imagine if web applications could store megabytes of data on the client-side, in the browser, both persistently and securely. No server needed.
Imagine if web applications could work offline with the click of a button. Want to access your web based word processor when you are not on the network, with your private files stored privately, right on your own machine and not on some server? Now you can.
Even better, imagine if all of this worked across the existing web; 95% of the existing browsers on the web could start using these features right now, with no software installs or funky new browsers.
What could you build if you had these tools? [I haven’t tried it, but I did borrow the idea which worked great in an app for the last company… you could probably replace it with this if that app needed to be made cross platform. It may never though.]

Hi Brian! What was the app? What were your experiences?

I can see where you might have gotten confused about the names… anyway, the app is an account processor for working hospital’s AR and insurance denials. Thae process was broken out into projects, a project assigned to a group of folks. That group was rule based, and represented a subset of the accounts that required follow-up in one fashion or another. One of the things we persisted was the worklist query params, because without going into too much detail, it greatly simplified the design. There were many other uses planned, but we pushed them off since I knew you were working on dojo.storage.
I’m not working at that company anymore, so I’m not at all sure that my vision for greater client independance will be carried out… but I certainly expect to find many other uses for cross platform browser based storage.
