Hello Thunkers! 🎉 * * * I am making a Notes app. I want to store every note the user takes in a tiny db / **Local Storage**. Certainly, it would be stored as a **list**. How can I do this? I tried some blocks, but they aren’t working - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/f/efd15c5130983cb2c4cf161ed008e93f762b3a3a.png) * * * Any help would be appreciated 😄 ### Thanks! 😉 ---

Each time you are storing, if you use the _same_ key, you are _overwriting_ what was there before. If you want to append, you need to - extract the record using the key - add the new note (append to the list) - store the updated list back using the same key The downside is that you need to extract a larger and larger list each time you need to add to it. A more satisfactory approach would be to use new key each time. And to have an absolute counter. Basically, you have a record called “last” (key= “last”), which is initially set to 0. When you save the note, and assuming you want to use “meow” as key, then instead you use “meow\_1” because the value of “last” is 0. You increment “last” by 1, and save it using its key, then append the \_1 to the key and use THAT augmented key (“meow\_1”) to store the first record. Next time something needs to be added, you do not need to recover all the previous notes (unless you need to display them) just to add a new one. You get “last” out, check its value (say it is “n”) , know that you therefore have “n” records, and that the next one needs to be save using key = “meow\_” + (n+1). You have all the flexibility (if you need to recover all the past notes, you simply need to run the suffix of the index in a repeat loop to create all the keys) and adding new ones does not require you to get them all out each time, so you gain in performance. ---

It’s the same with local storage. But you asked about local storage. If you have a problem with list inside stored variable then use local storage. ---
