remoteStorage protocol (investigate compatibility) #167

Open elf-pavlik opened 12 years ago

elf-pavlik commented 12 years ago

last year i try to follow development of remoteStorage protocol, you can find more information at: http://unhosted.org

it leverages use of CORS (cross-origin resource sharing) and lets person use a web application on domain X, while storing all the data in generic storage on domain Y, at this moment one can use various storage mechanisms for this purpose including couchdb

i've also heard mentions of functionality which uses cache manifest to 'download' given webapp and later use it without even involving any more server of this webapp's origin...

Thanks for the tips. We've been cautioned that CORS has security implications though far fewer than JSONP. We use CORS to read from remote sites. I can imagine that the situation is far more complex while writing to remote sites.

Appearantly [1] I'm meeting with one of their developers this week. Any questions towards them?
