Persist people and team settings permanently #247

Closed dschinkel closed 2 years ago

It's a huge pain to have to re-enter the same folks in a mobbing session. Having to add the same settings in the settings and other tabs.

Right now it persists for only 3 days. I don't understand the arbitrary number here and think it would be more work to actually have limited something like this, than just let it persist in the first place.

I don't see any reason not to persist this. We're talking about people's names and mob team's preferences to finally stick and stay. If we want to add or remove a person from the mob, it's a simple action.

There is no confidential information here to worry about, it's just names and settings.

But having to add everyone back into the mob makes the mobbing experience painful

Just to clarify, the data persists for at least 3 days. Every update to the timer resets the expiry to 3 days from that time, so theoretically, the timer would last indefinitely until the timer hasn't been accessed or updated for 3 days.

@dschinkel does that make sense? I think I misunderstood your concern from our previous conversation, but I'm hoping this clears up what the 3-days means, and that it's not a strict total of 3 days, but more of a rolling window.

I think this will be ok, thanks
