bblfish: maybe ask your question on the json ld list?
#
melvster
bigbluehat: was wondering your thoughts on caching social data locally? I have moved from localStorage to indexeddb, have you tried with pouchdb?
harry, tilgovi, bblfish and jasnell joined the channel
#
bblfish
melvster: because I first want to make sure that we have a use case.

bigbluehat
melvster: I use it often :)
#
bigbluehat
melvster: you'll be much happier with it than "raw" indexeddb
#
bigbluehat
plus, it can wrap WebSQL (for those browsers that still use it), but the API (to you) will be the same

melvster
bigbluehat: im currently using http://www.dexie.org/
#
bigbluehat
melvster: time to upgrade ;)
#
bigbluehat
pouchdb replicates, has loads of plugins, etc
#
melvster
is it fast?
#
melvster
im also thinking about rdfstore ...
#
melvster
that uses indexeddb
#
bigbluehat
melvster: afaik. I've not measured, though, to be honest
#
bigbluehat
you can use pouchdb on the server as well (node.js)
#
bigbluehat
uses leveldb there
#
bigbluehat
and can be (thanks to levelup, etc) used to store stuff in memory
#
melvster
yes tempting
#
bigbluehat
melvster: it also has pluggable query engines, it's schemaless, etc.
#
bigbluehat
but replication is the major win
#
bigbluehat
works with CouchDB, Couchbase sync gateway, etc.
#
bigbluehat
also 2 pouchdb's via webrtc...if you're so inclined :)
#
elf-pavlik
pouchdb++

pouchdb has 1 karma

bigbluehat
pouchdb++
#
Loqi
pouchdb has 2 karma
#
bigbluehat
totally deserves more karma ;)
#
bigbluehat
tnx elf-pavlik !
#
bigbluehat
elf-pavlik: I saw you use stackedit.io
#
bigbluehat
someone should put that on pouch, no? :)
#
elf-pavlik
i test on my website https://github.com/substack/forkdb (contente addressable)
#
elf-pavlik
bigbluehat, great idea! i could fork stackedit and play with it... http://browserify.org/
#
bigbluehat
elf-pavlik: fascinating
#
bigbluehat
yeah...there's definitely some CouchDB/PouchDB study that's gone on there
#
bigbluehat
might even be possible to make it compatible
#
melvster
good to know, i dont need to level up just yet, but will bear it in mind ... im having enormous fun with local caching already
#
bigbluehat
elf-pavlik: also check out ipfs.io if you haven't
#
bigbluehat
good stuff
#
bigbluehat
needs serious work yet to be more friendly
#
bigbluehat
but a promising (and simple) start
#
bigbluehat
awe...I miss Max :)
#
melvster
bigbluehat: it blows web 2.0 right out of the water, when you can replicate quads to the browser, because then the web becomes like GIT, you have your own store with is a fork, and you can write changes back to the original, but there's now no more centralization, anyone can fork anything -- bye bye silos, which pretty much 100% of everyone else is still using
#
bigbluehat
exactly :)
#
melvster
it's the same revolution that git applied to CVS and SVN, this applies to the web
#
melvster
it's ultimate data freedom
#
bigbluehat
definitely
#
bigbluehat
melvster: you've seen ipfs.io yeah?
#
bigbluehat
closest I've seen so far
