            Bug ID: 209501
           Summary: Imlement Persistent Storage before shipping "7-Day Cap
                    on All Script-Writeable Storage"
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari Technology Preview
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: aaaaaaabcdefg123 at gmail.com

IIUC, the upcoming "7-Day Cap on All Script-Writeable Storage" [1] will cause loss of user generated data stored in IndexedDB. Telling the user to come back to the web app within every 7 days, or to use an alternative browser, are not a viable solutions to this problem. Implementing Persistent Storage [2] or something equivalent would still allow such web apps to be usable in Safari. While we are all for improving privacy (ironically we store the user generated data in IndexedDB rather than on our servers for exactly that reason), please do not delete our users' data for which they might have spent a signifficant amount of time creating.
