  1. It might be worth noting that there is a limit (~5mb) to how much you can store in localstorage. There are strategies ​to minify the data and still store it as JSON

  2. I may be wrong, but I suspect you meant ‘let newObject = localStorage.getItem(“userObj”);’ and not”myObject” since “userObj” was the ‘key’ used to store the serialized data.
