Convenient one-click way for supporting remoteStorage and a user-first Web: just star our JS client library on GitHub: https://github.com/remotestorage/remotestorage.js 🙏

Aside from improving developer UX and public APIs in 1.0, we also worked hard on a whole new documentation site: https://remotestoragejs.readthedocs.io/

Fun facts: 1st commit to the rs.js repo was on November 5, 2010 by @michielbdejong. Since then, we had 51 people contribute 4393 commits.
