Unexpected token c in JSON at position 0

I’ll try to post more but I’m getting this when values are loaded between windows

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token c in JSON at position 0

I also stumbled upon this, and I believe this is a really severe issue, as any app in the production can completely break down, making the user unable to access it at all if they had previously accidentally stored a variable in the browser using the native JS localStorage, and there’s no way for developers to even notice this hazard during the development, for example if they switch the libraries and aren’t lucky enough to keep the old state. Could you please mention this severe limitation in the Readme, so that people don’t mistakenly use this library as long as this issue is known? I’ve been directed to this project from somewhere, but it seems the library https://github.com/astoilkov/use-local-storage-state is generally a better choice for any similar purpose. Maybe the projects could be even merged to serve as a universal solution if there’s no plan to provide anything custom.
