Use electron-store instead of electron-settings #80

Closed timche closed 5 years ago

Differences:

TypeScript support
Set defaults
Define schema
Can be easily used in main and renderer process

This would probably be good to put in a file that we then export some helper functions from. This would make it easier in the future to swap out storage libraries if necessary.

From my experience, it's way easier to refactor and safer with TS in case we are swapping libraries. Anyway, most storage libraries have similar APIs.
