title: Options for offline/local storage without a database for javascript app
body: <p>Here is my scenario:</p>
  
  <p>I am familiar with Javascript and would like to create some simple apps to use at work either personally or as proofs of concepts to present before taking them further and getting actual web server space. I do not however want to setup an actual database on my machine. I would prefer, if possible, to read/write to a local JSON file. This is where I am a bit stuck as most of my queries have turned up old information prior to the html 5 FileSystem API or Node.js (already installed on my machine) or whatever else there may be now. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a tutorial for creating an offline MVP with database-less storage or something similar? Or just general advice on what to look at to get started?</p>
  
  <p>I have been reading the HTML 5 Filesystem API and Node.js FS stuff but without an example I am finding it quite difficult to know where to begin.</p>
