Hold on a sec, how can you type so fast on 2:57???
Great video, one question : what would you recommend going for, if I want a popup as an example, to not appear if the user already seen it in the last 30 days ?

How can i restore mistakenly deleted data that was stored in localstorage
Great video… Thanks for sharing! Do you know of an approach to store values like these on a cloud bucket without using server side code like PHP? Sort of like a database but on a per user basis? Can it be done on javascript? Thanks
good!!!
Thanks bro

Youre awesome ;D and not only cuz you explain everyting clear ;D
Good Struggle

Beau, you are an amazing teacher! I love these videos of yours!
Hi, how to detect the user open URL in a new tab.
In chrome you should not be able to edit local storage on a website…
can you give me practical example where we can use localstorage and sessionstorage..?
dude don't just show the code. try to explain what and why for each, if possible. You are creating coders, when you could create software engineers. Don't just write ifs, think about why are writting that if.

Thank you for a very excellent explanation
Are cookies really stored on the server too? I always thought they were stored locally, on the computer running the web browser. From what I read, there is another server-side storage type called "session", which is typically used in conjunction with the browser's cookies but not to be confused with browser cookies.
Don't tell me how to live my life, I will ue my code only for evil 😛
Great timing, thanks for useful video)
