Wouldn't this cause problems with multiple tabs/windows?

Like, if I have one Discord tab open (so localstorage is cleared) and I open a second one in parallel, will I be logged out in the second one?

I didn't look into it too deeply. Maybe if there are multiple windows they can communicate with each other in some way.

"in some way" --> probably postMessage to send the variable to the new tab.

Service workers would be the solution to that problem, wouldn't they?
