How will it work on non-Filesystem API browsers (that is, all of them except Google Chrome and… BB10)? Are there plans? http://caniuse.com/#feat=filesystem ht

- MatthewPhillips 14y agoIndexedDB can store blobs. There's even a FileSystem API polyfill that uses IndexedDB: http://ericbidelman.tumblr.com/post/21649963613/idb-filesystem-js-bringing-the-html5-filesystem-api http://ericbidelman.tumblr.com/post/21649963613/idb-filesyst...
- creationix 14y agoThanks Matthew, that's the plan. Also since the target audience is developers, I don't have to support ancient browsers. This isn't a news site for the general public, it's a developer library.
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoI wrote a library that brings Node's fs module to the browser. It transparently uses the File System API in Chrome and IndexedDB in Firefox (and presumable IE10, haven't tested it there). Feel free to use/contribute ;) https://github.com/matthewp/fs https://github.com/matthewp/fs
