The Future
Features like Web Storage and IndexedDB give developers the ability and flexibility to build applications in the browser that don’t have to be connected to a web server. Applications like the ones we worked on run on iPad and Android devices, as well, and when we combine them with the HTML5 manifest file, we can build offline rich applications using familiar tools instead of proprietary platforms. As additional browsers enable support, developers will be able to leverage them more, creating applications that run on multiple platforms and devices, that store data locally, and that can sync up when connected.
