QBJS on a webpage?

[dbox]

...

After some research, I suspect that the issue arises due to the sketch being contained in an <iframe> Tag (preview.p5js.org) and the local storage object being stored in the browser under that subdomain. The local storage being cleared after a browser reset is likely a WebKit security measure to prevent third party tracking ("Intelligent Tracking Prevention" https://webkit.org/blog/7675/intelligent...revention/). One solution could be to store and access the local storage object under the domain editor.p5js.org. But this exceeds the scope of my understanding.

Note 2: Safari and iPad erases *all* browser storage after seven days of it being unvisited.  That's another of their security features they pushed on the public a while back to protect us all from ourselves.  /sigh.   Makes a real PITA with some of the html5 browser games.  Take a break, start over...

This is why we can't have nice things!

I typically don't use local storage for anything too important, user preferences, things like that.  In the example above it was just being used as a simple mechanism for communication between different QBJS apps that have been included into a parent page via iframes.  You can actually see that the storage value is cleared each time the page is loaded.
