"had"

It's not meant to be reliable.

Nor is it meant to be secure. It's a direct connection to a data store.

Everything is in the same namespace.

It would be a heck of a lot more useful if it were namespaced, like S3's buckets. Let folks put into those buckets whatever they want, but make the buckets in your datastore unique, based on the domain, referer, etc.

Thanks. I should be more clear about that.

The api is defined under WHY? tab, btw.

I am putting it on GitHub right now.

I think he meant - physically, HOW does this work. As in, where is the data stored and how?

oh, my bad. Well, the API doesn't specify anything beyond that.

My implementation is on GitHub at https://github.com/errorjs/Rasta.js

you might be able to replace the server with just CouchDB configured to allow JSONP... Then users can just sign up at something like http://iriscouch.com to install a copy of your library on an independent server.

Ah, redis. Good man.

me too, that's why I made it

what are you using it for? still don't really get it...

nothing yet, I just wrote it. But basically, the idea is, you no longer need a backend to store some simple data.

I provide the backend. Well, actually Heroku does

Oh... I get it. It uses your server.

Wait - doesn't this just do JSONP GET requests for getting/setting values? How is this not needing a backend?

This has got to the best description of this app!
