A Storage Solution

I've decided I will be using a persistent storage solution for my app; this means that the user will never need to be online to view their list(s). Enter HTML5's localStorage! The official spec is available @ http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/#the-localstorage-attribute.

Web Storage

Storing information in people’s browsers affords us a few options that every application should have:

• You can retain the state of an application
• You can cache data
• You can store user preferences

In the past, storing local data wasn’t much fun.
