I dabble in coins and have a coin related site, which is basically a coin browser. You can look up any U.S coin and see information and images on it. What my users tell me they would like is a simple, portable checklist. It doesn't need to have much info, basically a checklist with a checkbox and perhaps grade and cost.
While some of my users are strictly PC (and I already have a windows APP) many are phone and tablet users of varying platform and language. I'm thinking that a browser based app would solve my problem of compatibility and knowing nothing of android and apple apps. If I could accomplish this feat offline, that would save me the headaches of building a tenanted database app and forcing users to both be online and have an account.
I've been looking into HTML5 and it does appear to allow for offline (local) file saving, but from what I'm reading, the storage isn't permanent... more of a cache based thing.
So... to the question. Is there a simple way to save either a webpage as a webpage or the page's form data without going through the operating system? Using File/Save as... would not be cross platform.
Any other ideas to do what I want?
Thanks.
