IndexedDB Notes

I’ve been playing with a few toys. IndexedDB notes… let’s start there. Ooh, I’ve just spotted something undesirable as I type this out! I wrote the first sentence, pressed ‘Save Note’ and then wrote the second sentence. After that, I pressed ‘Save Note’ again and it pushed a new document instead of overwriting the existing one. OK, that is not cool; I’ll fix that. Anyway, I digress. I started this note to write out an actual blog post. As I was saying, I’ve been playing. IndexedDB Notes (as the name implies) writes to the browser’s IndexedDB storage. It’s all self-contained in one .html file. Therefore, because of where it writes to, it does not require a server instance running. After a few weeks of playing around with it, I’m once again on the fence with this. The all-in-one browser operation is a massive convenience. Or is it? I mean, I just do not trust browsers — any browser, Firefox included — to keep my notes 100% private. Why would I? Can’t add-ons gain access to all storage?…
