A "Sign In" option would be nice to track solutions across multiple platforms #96

It would be a nice enhancement for a user to be able to work on these on more than one platform (say, phone & laptop) and still have the home page show all solutions for the signed-in user. If I had the option, I would sign in once on each platform, maybe by way of GitHub, & hopefully the website would then "remember" me on later visits, no matter what platform I was using.

BTW, I remember working on these on the original 4clojure website, some years ago. Very cool to see these again. Thanks!

Great feature idea, but this is not going to be supported as we want this to be able to run forever with no backend / db / state.

An alternative solution I can think of right now is to allow localStorage import/export, or read/write to a gist, or something like that so people can sync it themselves

More ideas are welcome! :)

Could it import the whole 4clojure archive? This way there could be a way to compare as in the original.

I don't remember already -- how much does it weigh?

It could also just save the local ones into local storage but compare the "present solutions" from a static page. This would avoid the import and additional steps for new users.

We already do that :) https://4clojure.oxal.org/#/problem/7/solutions

Ah, those aren't that interesting because there are no nicknames. Oh well. But hey, it works.
