cookie variables? maybe?

for those who don't know, a cookie in programming is a variable stored inside the internet browser so it can be acessed later.

Great idea! Would make savefiles a lot easier.

(Maybe an account variable too?)

Well
We're at 2.0
I'm not sure this is a good thing
But I guess we'll have to stay here

I do not support this idea.

Using cloud variables, you can save data fairly easily for a user, there is no need to create another mechanism.

Also, some browsers have a limit of something like 30 cookies per site, so that would be extremely limiting.

meh. I really don't know how to store user data with cloud variables, but I'll look into it.

Once cloud lists are implemented, it will be much easier.

It's actually quite difficult, especially with no cloud lists and only numeric numbers. (And no case-sensitivity?!) But the cookie limit might be bad…

IDEA: Instead of a cookie variable, have a project-account variable. Each project's viewer gets his own copy. Though they should be deleted if they aren't used in.. say a week.

This is a cool idea, but might be difficult to implement.

Once cloud lists are out, it will be much easier to store per-user data.

yea I think that any of the three options proposed here would be good
I want this mainly so I can make voting projects where people can't vote twice

CLOUD LISTS will really help
Then you could probably make them with a cookie variable called userid to find your data
Like this

when green flag clicked
set [
