Storage Modes

Choose the right storage mode for your page based on data visibility and access requirements.

Mode	Data Visibility	Who Can Write	Use Case
`page`	No data storage	N/A	Static pages, informational content, no user data needed
`solo_app`	Private to each user	Owner only	Personal apps: todo lists, notes, habit trackers, journals
`team_app`	Team members only	Team members (role-based)	Team collaboration: project boards, internal wikis, shared dashboards
`social_app`	Public (everyone can read)	Any logged-in user (own records)	User submissions, profiles, leaderboards, comments, reviews. Use `findMine()` for per-user data.

Add-on Data Modes

These modes work alongside any storage mode above. Enable them as additional features on your page.

Mode	Data Visibility	Who Can Write	Use Case
`cms`	Public (everyone can read)	Page owner only	Blogs, product catalogs, FAQs, announcements. Owner publishes, visitors read.
`form`	Owner only (private)	Anyone (no login required)	Contact forms, waitlists, reservations, RSVPs, feedback, access requests.

Tip: social_app can handle per-user data via findMine() while also supporting shared/public content. Only choose solo_app if the data must be completely hidden from other users.
