Remote Storage #23

Open DavidBruant opened 5 years ago

DavidBruant commented 5 years ago

An app needs memory. Local memory is good, but shared memory would be better. It requires network/coordination

Possible workflow

Notions

storage provider : some server on the web that has memory

app : software that does something useful for the user and needs memory

Worflow

When using an app, the app stores locally. At some point, it informs the user of the danger of local-only storage and invites to store elsewhere too

At minimum, a capability url of the storage can be provided to the app to create a "drawer" Link to this drawer stored locally. UI at storage location allows to find the link again

Alternatives : Storage in Google Drive or Dropbox, etc. (requires server + oauth)

Backup
