Over the years I have had concerns with using LocalStorage for TiddlyWiki
content storage because of the way it locks content up within the browser.
It's hard for an end user to inspect and verify what is stored.
Historically, browsers and developers have tended to treat LocalStorage
like a local cache, and accordingly browsers typically let users clear
localstorage without meaningful warnings. As a storage medium, it's
volatile and fragile.
My philosophy with TW is to strive not to let users lose any data. I
believe that the best way of satisfying that goal is to make it
conceptually and practically simple for an end user to verify that their
data is where they expect it to be.
Having said all of that, I do indeed intend to use LocalStorage in the
manner of a cache, more to guard against browser crashes than anything
else. There are, however, security concerns. On current browsers, all
file:// HTML apps share the same pot of LocalStorage, making it trivial to
retrieve content. Encryption isn't a straightforward solution, as we'd need
a key to encrypt the content, and it would be distracting for a user to
have to think of a password just to allow their content to be cached.
