I am disappointed I did not have an original thought. Nothing is new in this world. I propose we rename it the "Web Storage And Messaging" API.

- 8ig8 14y agoMaybe you didn't invent the idea, but your post will likely introduce the concept to many folks. I believe this is equally valuable. Thanks.
- brunolazzaro 14y agoTIL that you can do this. Awesome.
- badgar 14y agoEducation equally as valuable as innovation? Why are you comparing the two at all? Apples and oranges.

- gfodor 14y agoI don't believe there was an explicit comparison being made. You are reading too much into it.
- eclipticplane 14y agoDon't be disappointed! This is slick, and easy to understand. I don't really want to digest the javascript Facebook is using to learn a new tool/concept.
- bensummers 14y agoThank you. I was impressed with how few lines of code were needed to use the API, always a sign of a well-designed system.
- angersock 14y agoNo worries. We all stand on the shoulders of giants. :)
- agilebyte 14y agoYup. We use it in our Backbone.js app to allow users to open links in new tabs and for changes in those tabs to propagate back too. For me it is awesome to use PushState and LocalStorage in a client side app and all the while the user thinks they are using a "traditional" server side app.
