Dear reader,

I'm using Github Issues as a platform for discussion (using Gitalk).

You can join the conversation either by commenting here, or in my blog 🌈

I love this idea.

I had a similar idea: what if you could create a plain JS object on the front-end, but modifying it would be persistent across browsers?

I got 50% of the way towards completing that project, but left off at just syncing to localStorage. You can see the resulting library here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/tigerlily

I think if we added your library on top of tigerlilly, it could really be a super great way to get started with web development for beginners. You could make any static site dynamic in an instant.

What do you think?

(I also think you should charge money for your service, even just $1, to prevent abuse and test if it's sustainable, but I also love the idea of offering it for free at the same time. I just really want to see something like this survive for a long time.)

Thanks @panphora!

Sounds cool, feel free to do so, I'd love to see this project take off.

I was thinking about charging for it, but it seemed like a lot of work (setting payment up and monitoring usage) so I left it off. Right now it's pretty manageable since I have near to 0 users 😅.

@panphora Add instant syncing between all running app instances and you've basically rediscovered nowadays defunct https://github.com/DiegoRBaquero/node-v 🎉

@dutzi I'm tempted to make a Keyv storage adapter for CLS. What do you think, does it fit your project vision?
