Any plan to support chrome.storage in the future?

If you want to use local storage capabilities with Chrome App you can only use the chrome.storage.

According to the this answer is possible to figure out if the app is running as a chrome extension or not:

if (window.chrome && chrome.runtime && chrome.runtime.id) {
    // Code running in a Chrome extension (content script, background page, etc.)
}

So if detected then we shouldn't use any other storage capabilities. That would be great because porting existing apps that are using Amplify would be relatively easy.
