local-first people: what's the thinking on storing sensitive user data in localStorage/IndexedDB; what's the fallback/workarounds you're thinking of. how do you implement TTL, all that. are there special browser apis for this usecase I'm not aware of. tagging @aboodman
@threepointone @aboodman @anselm_io @jazz_tools though i think @aboodman wrote a great answer already.
@ccssmnn @threepointone @aboodman @jazz_tools Jazz stores local data encrypted on disk (in IndexedDB), but does store secret Jazz credentials in localStorage as well. @threepointone’s question made me realize that we could use cookies with TTL for the credentials part which seems ideal. Will investigate that!
