where do you all store client configuration files? Like for example if I were to sync my preferences to use dark themes across clients, whats the best way to go about it?

i've heard something like using a pubsub node

stratself: Yes, you can use a private PEP node

This is an informational XEP which explains how

thanks. So that's how group bookmarks are stored has it ever been done before for other stuff like the client configs I was talking about? last I heard there were some agreements at the Summit, but not sure about practicals

Yes, it has been done since the dawn of time (though before pubsub was invented it used a different protocol which is now deprecated)

So you just pick a node name that is unique to your client, and then everything you put inside the <item> element is up to you

i see, thanks, i was thinking the same. glad that's how it is
