Bootup.js - cache and load static files from local storage

[ushi]

Paul Irish made something similar. A jQuery plugin that used localStorage to cache ajax responses.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this what the browser cache is for?

[dkordik]

Yeah, at least for the caching part, it seems like you should let that be the browser's responsibility, and set up Expires headers/etc appropriately. But what about the offline viewing use case? What are some good solutions to that these days?

Warning, LGPL licensed.

[dkroy]

Yeah, it could have been the best project ever, but the license is the first thing I look at. So I saw that then closed the page.

Why would you consider that bad? GPL brings its particular baggage, but LGPL seems fairly unobtrusive to use in about anything. RMS seems to even discourage its use, even though he created it!

Looks like an open-source version of Cloudflare's Rocket Loader, but without the source file concatenation. Still, we should produce something open-source for these.

There is also a size limit of 5MB that you should be aware of.

That is the default, not the limit. In all modern browsers, this limit is either 5MB, or set to prompt when the web page requests any larger.
