BTW, I'm the author of this software. So I've been trying to figure out how to save things locally for awhile. I realized that HTML5 has a File System API which in Chrome 9 can FINALLY write to the local SANDBOXED environment. This feature is planned!!

This has potential. I asked for this very thing about two months ago and surely someone is delivering. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1980806

How far do you plan to go with this? You could certainly make a buck or two if, say, you start offering a premium IDE with auto-complete, server-side compilation, etc. Not sure there's a big demand for this. Maybe you could sell this to enterprises and they could just deploy a lots of thin clients--save some cash on powerful workstations--and can log in from anywhere to develop and compile the code server-side and seamlessly deploy. But I'm just thinking out loud now. Best of luck.

FYI, I meant that the user should be able to test out your app without having to enter in any info, even if it means that saving is disabled.

I started using CouchDB to save locally, or anywhere. It seems to be working out well. What are your plans with the future of this ide?

I plan to utilize the Dojo's data API as an abstraction layer on top of many different kinds of drivers. I also have thought a bit about what sorts of SERVER side integration this can have - with the potential of websockets, I can see a RESTful git/hg server to be a next logical step!
