I think it would be a good idea to make it so that the user can change how the Vocabustudy page looks for them such as colors, backgrounds, and patterns(of course we can keep things like the homepage the same) as well as control how many drag & drops, questions, etc. they want. I think that we can have this whole thing in the setting as well as move the light/dark mode there as well. I know it may be too early but just putting it out there for the future.

Right now, all of these are stored in localstorage, but the question is: What do you do if someone changes their preferences, and then signs into an account that already has preferences? Which ones do we keep?

[ShreyanKhanna]

you would put it as the one in the account
also don't let them change it without an account

[ShreyanKhanna]

as it would be in the account setting which you can't access without an account so they wouldn't be able to change it

Ok
So I will save their preferences when not logged in, but those will always be overridden by account level settings
