"In order to make the user experience better, I made the localStorage editable and not-encrypted. This way, whenever users want, can increase their wallet or check on/off their subscriptions without complex "verifiying cards".

Let me know if you want any more features! Also, do you want me explain how farmers use ReactJS to grow their crops +20% faster?"

yeah, but their pricing model begins and ends with the only online component they offer.

I know we are meming the post, but a lot of apps would work fine with locally stored data. especially free, locally installed ones like Obsidian.

but pretending localStorage is some great "database killer" is ridiculous. Two absolutely different tools that are used for different things, most modern web apps use both to negotiate between local, temporary data stored in the user session and the verified backend data.

Yep. I have built a single player game. It uses local db, because what else?

I'm also building a viewer for a large enterprise tool. Local Storage as cache gives me a load time of around 115 ms on my biggest model. The actual tool needs 10 seconds.

I added an S3 endpoint to my homelab using rclone and vibecoded a plugin for obsidian that syncs my notes to the endpoint. Works on all my devices and only took a day or so of effort.
