Issue #3 · Data Store

  • 2020 editor
  • issue

Although tempting to keep all the data loaded as some JavaScript object or something similar, there may be users that want thousands of events recorded in a timeline. In that case, only the tags and other summary information should be kept in memory; the rest stored in IndexedDB, and interacted with only when reading a document, storing one, or dumping / loading a file. There may be motivations for performing full-text-search in the future, but that's beyond the scope of the initial release. *Archived by the Wayback Machine on 15 September 2020; the repository has since been deleted from GitHub.*
