We need to kill off the localStorage API
LocalStorage is a flawed API with poor querying, performance issues, limited storage, inconsistent event handling, and locking problems. Its only advantages are its simple semantics and browser support. Continued use of LocalStorage hinders the development of robust offline and client-side web apps. We should transition to IndexedDB, a superior alternative. I've demonstrated this by converting the BackboneJS TodoMVC example from LocalStorage to IndexedDB using Julien Genestoux's adapter. This involved a few configuration changes, highlighting the ease of adopting IndexedDB, which is our only viable path forward for client-side storage. Let's abandon LocalStorage and embrace IndexedDB to unlock the potential of offline web apps.
