Hi Ben,
Thanks for inviting me to talk about in-browser storage today. To give a bit more context to the browser vendor fragmentation, here is a browser storage discussion involving BrendanEich from Mozilla: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2982990 The most publicized objection is that WebSQL was a standard bound to
just a single underlying implementation (SQLite). It seems that there
might have also some architectural objections, since the replacement
(IndexedDB) implements such a different model. I think they can both
work well from a technical perspective--it's just the fragmentation
that can be frustrating. By the way, caniuse.com can be useful when
sorting our browser support issues: http://caniuse.com/sql-storage
http://caniuse.com/indexeddb
