[ContourClock] custom.html could remember previous font choices when updating?

The bug

Due to the font selection via custom.html this app cannot be autoupdated from the apploader.
Also every time I update it manually I forget which fonts I have selected previously so I must go over the fonts and guess/pick them again. And it is hard to pick the one that I like because they look similar on the web and then slightly different on the watch so I select some and then finetune and select the final one directly on the watch. And next time when there is update I am lost which is the right one :-)

Is it possible that the custom.html would read settings from the installed app and preselected my previous fonts and possibly even allowed autoupdate when I do not want any change? I am not sure it can be done, maybe @gfwilliams knows?

Yes, it's fine. You can do this in custom.html:

     function onInit() {
          Util.readStorageJSON('stuff.json', currentSettings => {

Just set customConnect:true to force Bangle.js to be connected before upload:

BangleApps/README.md

Lines 302 to 305 in c217a4f

	"customConnect": true, // if supplied, ensure we are connected to a device
	// before the "custom.html" iframe is loaded. An
	// onInit function in "custom.html" is then called
	// with info on the currently connected device.

... but there's nothing to allow auto-update of customised apps yet. That would probably be a bit of a pain to implement

Thanks, @xxDUxx do you want to look into this or may I try? I have very little experience with changing bangle apps so far but I can try. same with #3649
