Pi App State Must Survive the Next Session
Saving user-specific data adds a recovery responsibility.
Published Updated
Pi's creator-platform update describes backend support for saving and retrieving user-specific data. Persistence lets a returning user recover previous choices, but it also makes edits, permissions and software-version changes consequential. Versioned state, role-based changes, exportable records and restoration on a clean device test whether saved data remains usable after interruption. A polished interface is not enough if an upgrade loses the prior record or an unauthorized edit silently replaces it.
