Restarting spot-server fixes it, but if one person opens a session from a link, SPOT is broken for all people until the server is restarted...

In order to fix this issue, we need persistent storage for sessions. The sessions should either be stored in local storage of the browser or in the database.

Probably the most straight forward one is to use local storage.

Hi Faruk,

Not sure if I typed this correctly. It goes like this:

Person A shares link Person B opens link Person C cannot access database anymore (neither A nor B) until the server is restarted.

So that SPOT breaks for all users when one person opens a session is a feature?

It's a session, so I agree that localStorage (or maybe better sessionStorage) is best.
