The spec changes quiet often and if you do the javascript file stuff alot (my startup deals with local files with javascript so i use js for files alot) you will come across something that has been changed from what it is on html5rocks. It gets ugly very quickly. When i started it, the condition was alot worse, there was practically no one writing any tutorials. Your only option was to reverse engineer the spec draft. That wasn't pretty. Now the condition is much better (but i would still love to see more people write tutorials about this). This is very powerful stuff and not many people are writing about it, maybe because some parts of filesystem interaction spec are still not stable and used my many people.
- _neil 15y agoI've found the same thing. I'm holding off on implementing some of this stuff (outside of prototypes) because it seems Safari/IE support is missing and there isn't a decent polyfill that I'm aware of.
- Achshar 15y agohmm there is not much to hold ground on any browser other than chrome. Filesystem api wasn't stable the last i checked in FF. Any public implementation that runs on atleast 4 major browser is still atleast 6 month away :( My app is in chrome webstore so i don't have to worry about browser support and chrome also updates automatically so if it works in latest stable, i can launch without thinking twice :)
