Use Case

Save common user settings (show track path, color maps, opacity, etc.) to browser storage so users don't have to set up their datasets every time they open them.
Possibly should only be on a per-dataset level
Needs a "Reset to defaults" setting in the Settings Tab

Need some spec: Exactly what settings will be saved in browser local storage? And do we save a whole block of settings for each dataset that was ever loaded? Lifespan of the data?

Require user interview: "What is hard for you to reset every time you come back to a dataset?"

Also extra note to take the opportunity to look around different storage APIs! localStorage only allows strings. localForage might be better because it allows object storage too?
