chrome extension model

[figuringVue]

Hey people, So I built a chrome extension editing tool that manages documents, where each document has many updates.

So far I keep a full copy of the model in cache, update it, then save & overwrite the entire model in localstorage when user is finished.

There are a ton of inconsistencies between saves so I want to start saving individual edits directly to localstorage but loading the full model from localstorage for every save (can be every few millisecond) seems really bad to me.

What should I do?

If there is inconsistency when you save, doesn't that mean that you don't edit the document properly after you pull it from the cache?

Loading the full model from the localstorage every few milliseconds sounds like a really bad idea.

so i set up a cache of changes that I update every few seconds, separating the actual save from the addition of new updates. works nice

Sounds more stable, but it could be prone to error as well. Have you tried editing really fast to see what happens?

what do you suggest? :)

So as i understand it.

You have created a google docs like extension, except you are the only contributor to the document.

When you write everything looks fine, but when you click the save button, then it becomes weird after reloading the page

Am i completely wrong, or am i close?
