12 years ago The cool way to do this would be with client storage (LocalStorage).
Pros:
- No db on the server
- No user accounts necessary
- Either way we need to represent boards both on the server (for solving) and client (for display)
- Cool new bit of browser tech
Cons
- More complicated than just storing all state on the server (althought we will still need to ship the board to the client for display).
- Without server side copies a user can't take their board with them from one computer/browser to another
Probably will look into a hybrid approach like SQLite on the server and a local cache on the client with LocalStorage.
Once we have boards to solve we'll want to save these boards so that they don't have to be reentered every time we visit the page.
