Logging is important for users and developers alike to be able report bugs.
Refer to Week 9.2 for the importance of logging:
Logging is the deliberate recording of certain information during a program execution for future reference. Logs are typically written to a log file but it is also possible to log information in other ways e.g. into a database or a remote server.
Logging can be useful for troubleshooting problems. A good logging system records some system information regularly. When bad things happen to a system e.g. an unanticipated failure, their associated log files may provide indications of what went wrong and action can then be taken to prevent it from happening again.

- [x] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: I think loggings are just useful to developers for debugging purposes. They are not much useful to the app users. Hence, storing loggings in the users' local storage would not be much helpful to them.
As stated in the developer guide, there will be logging files stored in local storage for mainly debugger purposes. However, for users who use the application, it seems not necessary to look at logging files which most of the users may not understand and do not need to understand. Logging files may also occupy a significant amount of the local storage as time goes by. Would it be possible to remove that in the local storage?
