Backing up/recovering specific elements of the app, such as settings, is not easy. Neither modifying a specific element with code/automatic setup.
Describe the solution you'd like
Move/add at least the global app settings to a file that's easy to read and write into, like config.json that's available in the configuration folder, but contains nothing useful.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative is adding some HKCU\SOFTWARE registry entries like some other apps do. IndexedDB, which I assume is used, is not really the best option IMO, at least not for the portability of the app. If it's more optimal, which I don't really know, prioritizing the file/registry and reading from them to IndexedDB at launch is also an option.

The use case is easiness of backing up the program's setup and/or reading/modifying specific settings with automation as explained. What kind of details would you like to see? For example, if I were to write an app that backups all programs and lets you install them on 50 machines with let's say 1 setting modified on 20 machines, reading/writing to a settings file or registry entry would be much more preferred. Lots of apps save their settings to .json/.xml/.ini/.conf/similar files or in HKCU\SOFTWARE.
