#2This assumes that edsu will never betray you.
Given the broad meaning of betray used, that seems unlikely. If edsu gets big it will have to pay for all that storage somehow. Like all things edsu will one day come to an end, and like most websites/companies/endeavors it will probably come to an end before I do.

While I'm just hearing about this Edsu project and am not in any position to vouch for it re: future betrayal, I think the specific concern you raised is solved by Edsu by using local storage rather than a centralized repository.
A few clicks in, the first line of https://edclave.com/ is:
"Edsu makes life better for both developers and users of Online Open Source Software (OOSS). Instead of the developer having to hold on to your data, you do. It gives you more control, and gives them less to worry about."

I thought that was Todo lists? The hello world equivalent of web apps.

Local storage feels really quite volatile. It lives on a local disk inside your browser. May as well just use notepad and a file.

It seems the data stays in sync with other places you're signed in, so supposedly you could get redundancy by signing in on more devices/browsers. In that sense, it's better than a crappy text editor on your computer.

Good point, and you're right: the buck has to stop somewhere.
However, Edsu is a federated protocol with an open source implementation. So it only disappears when the last person to care about it stops keeping it up to date with the compiler. That's about as good a guarantee as you can get, I think (e.g. telnet is still around after 49 years).
