Local storage vs list in variable

Questions about Thunkable

Hi, the title is strange, but the situation is as follows. I have an application in which I store a little over 20 variables. I wondered how it was better to do it. I tested two options:

  1. I create a list of data in one variable and each time I call information from the list.
  2. I save all the data in the local storage and then call them from there.
    Both methods work equally fast. I am currently opting for option 1 because it requires fewer blocks.
    In your opinion, which method is correct and which do you prefer?

From experience using long long list can be problematic in the coding side but works out in the long run.

I would opt for a stored variable of type object.

With lists, you will have to remember the order of variable and where they are used for.

In the other hand an object is a set of pairs with key:value which makes retrieving it easier and revisiting the code after sometime more obvious.

I hadn’t thought about using an object. Really long lists are difficult to maintain :).

I strongly suggest this method. I have a big ass app with a ton of lists. Some lists have 50 slots… that takes a lot of time to deal with that. An object with key:value pairs is the way to go
