[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 6466367, member: 1154"] Clearing cache actually doesn't clear localstorage. The biggest issue you'll run into is that people are going to want to access their stuff from different devices, and you can't do that with localstorage. There are other options, though. If you make it an extension for Chrome, you can use Chrome's storage, which is synced among devices. You can also use Firebase or Dropbox for syncing data. Firebase, in my experience, is easier to set up and it's nice because it has builtin support for several different oauth providers. It also makes it possible for you to share data among users, and see how people are using your app. Downside with Firebase is that the free version is limited to 50 concurrent users, and the next step up is $50/month for 200 concurrent users. I don't think Dropbox has any limitations on concurrent usage, since each person is using their own personal Dropbox for the storage, but on the flipside you also don't have any direct access to their data. And, of course, it requires them to have a dropbox account. [/QUOTE]
