I think HTML5's Offline Dom Storage is a great concept. Instant offline access to all your web applications. Only problem is only the more recent one support this. So I've made a simple javascript library to help unify older browser support as well as anything that has google gears installed.
Download sample project with Library: gorilla3d.js
// Init storage
var storage = new Gorilla3D.Storage();
if(storage.store === false) {
alert('Sorry we cannot support you, please download a newer browser or add Google Gears to your current browser.');
}
var tasks = ['Go Shopping', 'Wash Car', 'Clean Room'];
// Save the tasks to storage as a json string.
storage.setItem('tasks', tasks.toString());
// Get the tasks from storage
storage.getItem('tasks', function (value) {
if(value) {
tasks = value;
tasks = eval(tasks);
}
});
// Delete the tasks from storage
storage.removeItem('tasks');
