I'm not sure I want to do this. The reasons are :

We need to add new table and new API endpoint for managing configuration.
When the index page loaded, it need to fetch the configuration from the API. Right now, when it finished loading, the index page already fetch data from two endpoint, i.e. /api/bookmarks and /api/tags. I'm worried that if we add another one, it will make the load time too long.
It adds new complexity while the result is not too significant. I mean, this feature will be useful if there are lots options to configure. However, right now shiori only have three options (maybe four after I added #99), and all those options is only for the appearance.

Beside the above reasons, I rather like the current method where the config is saved locally in the device. It's fast to load, fast to change, and I can set different options for different device.

For example, when using my PC, I prefer to use shiori in light mode and list mode. However, when using my phone, since I only use it at night after finished working, I prefer to use the night mode and grid mode.

I'm using 5 different computers on a daily basis, which is why I like to have a central repository for my bookmarks, and shiori is fine for that.

The argument about diffence between list/grid on different devices make sense, so the best solution would be to be able to choose between global (user based) configuration and local (session based) configuration for each configuration item.

But that would start to make a messy configuration messagebox. So I'll close the issue for now.
