[Feature] - Add favouriting feature to snippets

[pl44t]

What feature would you like to see?

Add the ability to favourite snippets, which ones are favourited can be stored in local browser storage, favourites can be viewed in a Favourites page, maybe accessable from the top of the language dropdown menu?

It will Browser Specific storage. Favorites saved in one browser won't be accessible in another browser, as localStorage is not shared across browsers or devices. So if any user switched to other device his favourite snippets will be lost.
Also if by mistake user cleared the localStorage manually, then also it will be lost.

I think it would be better if we store the favourites snippets of user at a backend storage. We would then also need an authentication system to sign up the user.

i think having to integrate a authentication system will add another level of unneeded complexity to the project currently. But as outlined in the Vision.md for v2.0, there are plans for an authentication system for private snippets within personal accounts, which would make this a more possible addition.

yeah makes sense, by that time we can go with the local storage feature
