To repeat what I said up above: Maybe the local storage API needs a
way to distinguish between cached data that can be silently thrown
away, and important data that can't.
That makes sense to me. There might even be more than two categories:
- Cached for convenience - discarding this will affect performance but
not functionality.
- Useful for offline use - discarding this will prevent some data from
being accessed when offline.
- Critical for offline use - discarding this will prevent the app
storing this data from working offline at all.
- Critical user data - discarding this will lead to permanent user
data loss.
