Planning

Packaged web apps

• distribute web apps as a common .tar.gz
• unpack into filer instance
• load scripts and assets from filer (using modified require.js?)
• small appcache shim containing filer and a loader for full offline support

Shared cross-domain storage

• proxy API to third-party iframe for shared access across multiple web apps
• permissions/capabilities for web apps to control file system access
• requires UI for file/path choosing

Synchronized file systems

• sync files over webrtc between browser instances and node storage servers (for persistence)

Filer support in node.js

• replace native fs module with filer-backed
• useful because filer can do things that are not possible on native fs

Demos

• Reaching out to people we know who have apps/demos/ that we could support with a fs
• Save/Load feature for pdf.js
  • When you open a pdf, you can save it into Filer
  • PDF.js can then show you all the PDFs you've saved in Filer in the past
• Brackets made into a more complete demo
• Cloud9 with Filer file system
• ymacs with Filer file system
