Description

I'm among those people that prefer larger coding fonts but that would feel selfish to impose that to every user as I feel like this is not so common.

What I'd like to see is a gear icon somewhere that would introduce a setting page that would be store locally (either via localstorage or indexdb with idb-keyval for example).

I'm sure this feature could also introduce a lot more personalisation without going full crazy and produce a poor man version of codesandbox.

Here are a couple of things that I have in mind as I write this:

  • font size
  • coding font
  • dark/light mode (already exists, just need to move the location)
  • minimap or not (easily switchable today)
  • default vue (code or output), I know some people like Ryan tends to look a lot at the output tab rather than the iframe.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing dark/light-mode and minimap controls, then identify the playground entry point for adding a gear icon and settings page; done means the listed preferences are editable and persist locally, including font size, coding font, theme, minimap visibility, and default view.
