I'm with Mark on this. The problem as I see it is that you build a
stack in the IDE and it happily stores data into fields, onto cards,
into custom props, makes other changes... and then you build a
standalone app and it doesn't work. The IDE sets the expectation that
everything is working properly and then there's a cognitive leap to
dealing with persistence, especially with mobile apps.
