Question

  1. Both indexedDB and local storage are key value stores. What is the advantage of having two key/value stores?
  2. indexedDB is asynchronous, but joins (the most time-consuming thing) are manual. They appear to run in the same thread as the async calls were made. How will this not block the UI?
  3. indexedDB allows a larger store. Why not increase the size of the HTML5 store?
  4. I'm scratching my head. What is the point of indexedDB?
