FLOPPY: Plugin for localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB storage, List Creation/Manipulation, Iteration, and More! Now with even more video docs!

:boom:BECAUSE I :heart: YOU :boom:: Hot on the heels of Floppy 1.9.0 comes version 1.9.1… And no, it’s not a bugfix release.

The long-term plan for Floppy has been to become a not just a solution for browser storage, but a place to share other interesting plugins, including ones that are somewhat experimental. So, 1.9.1 adds two element plugins that I hadn’t worked on in quite a while and never before made available to other users.

Longtime forum dwellers might remember a couple of mysterious videos that I posted long ago showing an animation plugin called REANIMATOR. A still-experimental, but usable and slightly cleaned-up version of REANIMATOR is included here as “Z: REANIMATOR”.

REANIMATOR also has a friend, “Inline SVG” that does what it says on the tin (it’s a visual element that you can put SVG code into). It’s available here as “Z: Inline SVG”.

The “Z: Series” plugins are works in progress. While I’ll try not to introduce breaking changes to them, there’s no guarantee that I won’t. But mostly, anything I introduce as a “Z” plugin is just something that will get built out over time.

Now, the docs for these are rather minimal at the moment and they will take a little video or two to explain (and show how you can use REANIMATOR and Inline SVG together), but well now you have it.
