2 No if you put in a top level dict not

2) No, if you put in a top level dict (not reactive) in a module, every user sees the same dictionary. The only problem with that is that you cannot get an event when the data changes, but you could do a proxy. I can give some example code in a thread that doesn't work yet, but might get the idea across better. 4) Not yet, but coming! (see also the new thread)

"""# Custom state storage

Solara makes it easy to store state/data on the server side, scoped to a kernel, using [reactive variables](/api/reactive).

However, sometimes you want to store state yourself in an external system (i.e. not Solara), and for this you can use the [get_kernel_id()](/api/get_kernel_id) function to get a unique id for each kernel.

If you want to store state/data scoped to a browser session, you can use the [get_session_id()](/api/get_session_id) function to get a unique id tied to the users browser. This can
be used to store state that outlives a page refresh.

In case you want to store state/data scoped to a user, you can use a similar strategy, but use a unique identifier based on the user, instead of the session id. You can take a look at
[Our oauth example](examples/general/login_oauth) or [the authorization example](/examples/apps/authorization) for inspiration.
