Thanks, I think I can actually apply this idea actually. I'm writing a chat app for fun and one of the (admittedly small) issues I'm dealing with is cleanly storing the local state of the chat so that it appears correctly on refresh. There's some complexity involved with how messages are served, received, etc. with notifications, dings, animations, whatever -- but maybe saving that information to a file (as an alternative to localStorage or database read) could be a robust alternative to whatever I was trying to do. I'll give it a try.
