Show HN: Serverless storage exposed via localStorage like API

• jackleslie 6y ago
  Nice! I really like the design of the website as well, and the domain name. Is there a possibility of implementing Storage.clear or Storage.removeItem?

  Looks pretty cool. Any space or bandwidth restrictions?

    Not right now, but if I find it becoming pricy I might ask users to verify their account by phone beyond a certain usage threshold, to prevent spammers from using it. If it keeps getting bigger I'll try other database solutions (MongoDB, DynamoDb, ...)

      How can you afford to pay for other people’s storage?

        As this storage aims for serverless apps and it isn’t secure (anyone with access to your token can read/write to it) I assume usage won’t be too high. If that won’t be the case I’ll consider cheaper alternatives to Firebase. If it’s still stays an issue then I’ll look for sponsorship.
        • dirtnugget 6y ago
          Still a very generous offer. Can you read all the data?

  Nitpick but could have adopted the kv-storage API instead: https://github.com/WICG/kv-storage https://github.com/WICG/kv-storage

    > Work on this specification is currently suspended, as no browser teams (including the Chromium project, which originated the proposal) are currently indicating interest in implementing it. I am not sure if that would be a good idea given above.

    Hm, I wasn't aware of it, I'll check it out
