But the lists reset everytime i close it. Any tips? Is it just this one that is codded poorly? Could i edit something myself? didn't see it mentioned (not storing data in Hydra that is).

edit:
Have tested a few other applications, like Book Note, also do not store any data locally after closing the widget.

Maybe in the next update keep up the great work
Hello and thank you for supporting development of Hydra. The goal of Hydra is to support all APIs and functionalities provided by the 'bigger players', but unfortunately we're still a few steps behind.

As for storage support, Hydra currently supports widget preferences and cookies which are the most common ways of implementing offline storage accessible to widgets. HTML5 local storage and app cache are currently not supported.

I've been planning on adding support for local storage for a long time and it should actually be quite straightforwards. I'll see what I can do about this for the next version (no promises yet though!).

On the other hand, app cache basically only caches remote files to save bandwidth and should not be mandatory for any app to function normally. So implementing that is quite low in the long list of things to do
