Missing Persistent User Preference Storage Causes Settings Loss Across Sessions

[Tushar15769]

📌 Description

User preferences are maintained only in runtime state and are not persisted across browser sessions.

Current behavior:

Accent color resets after refresh
Framework selection resets after refresh
Preview size settings are lost
Search preferences are discarded
Only dark mode persists through HTML-level styling
No localStorage persistence layer exists
No preference restoration mechanism is implemented

Because user preferences are stored only in memory, they are discarded whenever the application reloads.

As a result:

Users repeatedly reconfigure preferences
Personalization settings are not retained
User experience becomes inconsistent
Session continuity is reduced
Preference-based workflows are interrupted

🎯 Expected Behavior

User preferences should persist across sessions
Settings should be restored automatically on load
Local storage should retain configuration values
User customizations should survive refreshes
Application state should remain consistent between visits

i have submitted a PR to address this issue by introducing persistent user preference storage using localStorage.

What is included

• Added a reusable useLocalStorage hook.
• Persisted user preferences (accent color, framework selection, preview settings, and related preferences).
• Automatically restores saved preferences on application load.
• Preserved existing behavior with fallback to default values.

Looking forward to your reviews.
