Multiple Keyboards about freespeech HOT 5 CLOSED

At the settings section there could be a "create custom keyboard" button and the standard keyboard appears what it is clicked. The user can color and put the tiles in different positions as he/ she wants to. And when they return home the keyboard has changed. However I' m not sure if backend would be needed for that.

That is the current idea for now. We have where you can have one custom keyboard. But want to have multiple ones so users can try out different things without losing their previous keyboards. Right now we just store the one locally. Once we add a backend we'll connect it to that. We want to have a community place where people can post keyboards and share them with one another eventually.

I think this would be blocked by #50, would it not? I feel like at some point we'd be growing too large for localstorage and should just have that backend.

I don't think so. I mean yes and no. I'm seeing the smallest limit of local storage size is 5-10mb. Keyboard object is coming in under 20kb. I don't know if caching plays into that limit of size or not. I think maybe having 3 custom keyboards to start off is good till we get a backend.

Regarding local storage you can use IndexedDB which offers nearly unlimited storage. I'm using it for our AAC project AsTeRICS Grid, with PouchDB, which makes IndexedDB access easier. I'm storing everything there (also images) - no problem. PouchDB also can be easily synced with CouchDB running on a remote server.
