Thx for your pull request 👍.
I don't think it's very useful to have the character name input without doing something with it (except changing the title).
It would be a good feature if you can track the activities for multiple of your characters.

Example:
I have two characters and play with my main character first. I track some progress for my main character and sign in to my second character in-game.
Then, I like to track the progress for this character too, but the aeternum-tracker is still showing the progress for my main.
In this case, I need to be able to select (and add/edit/remove) characters, which have their own activity progress.

There is a Input component which is already styled. See https://github.com/lmachens/aeternum-tracker/blob/main/components/ui/input.tsx

Thanks for pointing that out.

Yes, that's a good point. I need to figure out first how can the tracker call the data of a character.

@lmachens I see that aeternum-tracker does not have a feature for character login. Would it be a good idea to implement a similar code from aeternum-map for login? Or is there a better approach for tracking multiple characters?

It's enough to have a simple input to enter and maintain the character name by yourself and save it in the local storage (you can use the persistent zustand store which is used to persist the activities).

I would not implement anything which involves a login or server side action.

@lmachens so the workflow would be:

• A user enters a character name and presses Enter (for example).
• aeternum-tracker will fill the lists according to the inputted name.
• The retrieved data are only going to be saved locally within the browser.
• If the user deletes the cached data of the browser, they will lose all entered values in aeternum-tracker.

Yes. You can try out how it works now. You can complete or reset the activities and create and maintain custom activities.
It's stored in the local storage.
If you find out how this works, it might be easier to extend the functionality by adding a character, which has their own activity progress.

Work is still in progress. I am reading more about the library "zustand" and how to use it.

[Momen-Mawad]

Currently, facing an error when updating a store:

const marioStore = useCharacterStore('Mario');
marioStore.setProgress("Mutated Dungeons", 6);
[zustand persist middleware] Unable to update item 'Mario-activities-storage', the given storage is currently unavailable.
