I find it interesting but doesn&#x27;t use it as much because I prefer to use indexeddb.

I think the OPFS [0] is just awesome. (For the uninitiated: each website gets a directory that only it can access, and it can write to &amp; read from that directory at near-native speed.) Adobe uses it for the web-version of photoshop, to allow it to work with files that can&#x27;t fit in browser memory [1].I love it. I have the impulse to use it for basically everything that I don&#x27;t use localStorage for. I first used it when writing an in-browser vector database, for which it was pretty much perfect. (I liked it so much I wrote an abstraction layer for it so I could write code once and have it work natively, in the browser, or in memory.) OPFS can be used from web workers and has a nice async API. But I very rarely hear anyone else talking about it. I wouldn&#x27;t be surprised if most web devs don&#x27;t know it exists. So I thought I&#x27;d ask here to see if anyone else is using it.[0]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;API&#x2F;File_System_API&#x2F;Origin_private_file_system[1]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.chrome.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;how-photoshop-solved-working-with-files-larger-than-can-fit-into-memory
