Hey pseudobry, thanks for the hard work first of all. I started using the 2.x branch on a large project and it saved me soooo much time and code over what I was trying to write around localStorage caching and expiration while trying to learn Angular at the same time.

I tried following the advice to upgrade to 3.x when it appeared on the API docs, but it broke my app completely which, after spending 5 minutes reading the 3.x branch's docs made complete sense - you're going for something much larger here.

I haven't personally played with Ember yet, but this seems like it might be inspired by Ember Data? Is that right? From what I hear, that's one of the many thing that Ember has gotten really right.

Thanks again!

I think you're confusing angular-cache with angular-data. Angular-cache (what you describe as 2.x and 3.x) is a drop-in replacement for $cacheFactory. It's a key-value store with extra caching goodies.

Angular-data (at 1.0.0-rc.1 right now) is a full-fledged data store and resource manager.
