Ever have one of those times where you’re reading one thing, and that leads you to another thing, which leads you to yet a THIRD thing, and before you know it you have four things you want to code and only enough energy to turn on the TV? And even then, once you get the TV on, you don’t have enough energy to find something else other than the Food Network to watch? I digress.

I have been doing a lot of research into AmplifyJS.com. This is a potentially powerful library. I’m looking at bringing it into use in my day job, but also see a lot of benefit for it in my personal projects as well. It doesn’t do anything that jQuery doesn’t already do, but that’s not the point. The point is that I find Amplify an excellent way to aggregate both the method of accessing Ajaxian/Restful endpoints, handling such cumbersome tasks as caching, as well as giving you a good cookie handler and pubsub mechanism, all in 8kb minified. </fanboi>

Admittedly, it’s in Alpha, and I hope to see it mature soon.

However, I was looking at how it handles things like localStorage, and then I saw a tweet from the substantially speedy Steve Souders regarding how he wanted to get a bookmarklet going to access localStorage. Well, after doing some research into how that could be done, I started working on one. So this post is the shameless plug post where I talk up AmplifyJS, and also the announcement post that I will soon be providing a rough draft of a bookmarklet to let you access localStorage (view/edit/add/delete) for a webpage.
