Unhosted.org [1] mentions the remoteStorage protocol [2] as one of the options for storing user data separate from an application. [1] https://unhosted.org/adv

  remoteStorage is pretty cool, and it's a shame that neither it nor something like it has really taken off yet. The spec has some rough edges, though—in particular the protocol requires a smart server to handle the network requests, when it should be fairly straightforward to define a "static" profile that can turn most commodity dumb hosts (Neocities, GitHub Pages, etc.) into a user store. I'm convinced that this seemingly minor design tweak would give remoteStorage a new life and cause it to spread like wildfire. The spec gets periodically refreshed/resubmitted. It last happened a couple of months ago and is set to expire at the end of the year.
