HN comment orderStore.js was originally released on HN in 2010 :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1468802 It's live on tens of thousands of websites (like cnn.com!) and has seen lots of improvements over the years. Store.js version 2 is a full revamp with pluggable storage (it will automatically fall back to one that works in every scenario by default), pluggable extra functionality (like expiration, default values, common array/object operations, etc), and fully cross-browser automatic testing using saucelabs.com. Feel free…
It would be nice to know limitations (by browser/version?) I.e. maximum storage size, scope (global, 2nd level domain, any domain), life cycle (when is it cleared), etc.
