Actually, I was lazy and went with the approach of layering userprefs on top
of appdata as follows:
container.rpcRegister('set_pref', function(rpcArgs, data) {
var prefName = rpcArgs['a'][1];
var prefKey = 'up_' + prefName;
var prefValue = rpcArgs['a'][2];
var data = {};
data[prefKey] = prefValue;
osapi.appdata.update({
userid : '@me',
groupid : '@self',
appId : '@app',
data : data
}).execute(function(response) {
});
});
This is with anticipation that appdata and userprefs will align as discussed
here:

Of course this also requires you to implement appdata server side. Right
now I¹m just using the JsonDb implementation (in-memory), but we¹ll be
writing a persistent layer soon.
I also ran into issues with the correct token (the gadget one with the appid
that you¹ll need to use to index the data) being passed to the appdata
request. You can search for my other thread about this.
