Thomas_9on LocalForage – A fast and simple storage library for JavaScript

I think Splitons is a good example of an App using rightly Local storage combined with AppCache : splitons.com

It keep tracks of expenses offline and sync states when you have connectivity again.

Thomas_9on Ask HN: Should I blog on Medium for my open-source project, or self-host?

Talking about self-hosting blog, I am surprise nobody mentioned Bludit. I left Wordpress for Bludit a while ago and I am really happy.

I even wrote an article about it : http://softwarebythomas.com/blog/post/Why-I-left-wordpress-f...!

Thomas_9on Ask HN: What “missing” technical solution(s) do you wish existed?

IMHO I think Datatable doesn't have a nice and clean interface. For example, you can't just do table.AddRow({col1:'newCol1', col2 : 'newCol2'});

It is not always very clear on what plugin you should use for paging or sorting, column reordering. Then it become heavy to save a state using methods from different pluging.

So could be a lot simpler.

Still the best open source free js table on the market on my knowledge.

Thomas_9on Ask HN: What “missing” technical solution(s) do you wish existed?

I wish there was a good javascript library to handle table (filtering, sorting, paging, ...). The best I found so far was datatable, but it is not perfect.

Thomas_9on Show HN: Simple Minimal YouTube Alternative Player (no ads...with powers)

If it is basically youtube but you just remove ads, I tend to think they will react. But I admit this is a feeling more than a sure fact. I can't remember the name of the app that worked on top of a Google Api that was stopped in few hours...

Thomas_9on Ask HN: What simple tools or products are you most proud of making?

For me it is Splitons!

Splitons is a simple Offline web application to split costs between friends (www.splitons.com).

It has been a mobile first development using AngularJs, Bootstrap and font-awesome.

Splitons takes advantage of AppCache, websockets and local storage to provide the best user experience possible. There is a clear separation between the Ui and the service thanks to a simple reusable Api.

At this moment, the application takes care of about 150 projects, users are regularly providing feedbacks and thanks email. They really enjoyed not having to install another application and how easy it is to share a project.

Because it is an open source project (https://github.com/Paraintom/Splitons), one user sent me a pull request that I accepted to improve the Ui some months ago.

Please try and give me a feedback!
