Implement Settings functionality (User Profile and App Settings) #24

Description

@luizhcastro

Description

Create a comprehensive Settings page/functionality that allows users to manage both their user profile settings and application-level settings. This should be a full-stack implementation covering frontend UI and backend API endpoints.

Motivation

  • Provide users with centralized control over their profile and preferences
  • Enable customization of the application experience through hotkeys and plugins
  • Improve user experience by offering granular control over app behavior
  • Establish a scalable settings architecture for future configurations

Scope

User Profile Settings

  • Personal information (name, email, avatar)
  • Account preferences
  • Notification settings
  • Privacy settings
  • Password/security management

Application Settings

  • Hotkeys/keyboard shortcuts configuration
  • Theme and appearance preferences
  • Plugin management (enable/disable, configure)
  • General app behavior preferences
  • Language and localization settings

Technical Requirements

  • Frontend: Settings UI with navigation between sections
  • Backend: RESTful API endpoints for settings CRUD operations
  • Database schema for storing user preferences
  • Validation and error handling
  • Real-time updates when settings change

Acceptance Criteria

  • Users can access settings page from the main navigation
  • Settings are organized in clear, logical sections
  • Changes are persisted to the database
  • Settings are applied immediately or require explicit save action (to be defined)
  • Responsive design for all screen sizes
  • Proper error messages and validation feedback
  • Backend API is secure and validates all inputs

Technical Considerations

  • Consider using a tab or sidebar navigation for different settings sections
  • Implement proper state management for settings data
  • Ensure settings sync across devices/sessions
  • Plan for extensibility to add new settings categories
