Reactotron: Save state snapshots

[scally]

I love the state snapshot feature of Reactotron! I use it all the time!

I have some wishes around it though. I'd like to be able to name snapshots and have them be longer-lived. I often save a state for several visual bugs I'm working through, and I'd like to be able to name them so I can recall which is which, and save them to persist through closing/re-opening Reactotron.

How hard would this be to do? I'm not familiar with the Reactotron codebase but perhaps if someone could point me in the right direction or let me know how feasible this is I could take a crack at it -- if not, I'd like to at least let y'all know. Keep up the great work!

The snapshot renaming stuff is now in master. @GantMan knocked that one out last week.

I'd love to see a "save/load" state feature as well. The electron code in Reactotron isn't the greatest. I was learning both Electron & ReactJS on the fly last year. I'll be reorganizing that codebase very shortly.

So leave this with me for now. 😀

@skellock awesome to hear that renaming is already done!

Simple persistence through exit/reopen would work for me -- it doesn't even have to be explicit save/load -- I just want it to remember in case of crashes/reboots/whatever

Renaming is available in 1.11. Persistence is coming soon ™️ .

Any news about persistence?

Nothing to report at the moment. This dropped in priority as I don't hear too many requests for it.

I think once we get the config stuff in place #721 , this will become very easy to implement since it'll use the same library.
