Lit component does not show value stored in `localStorage` after page reload

[paulaeschlimann]

I use nanostores to store a count in localStorage:

import { persistentAtom } from '@nanostores/persistent'

export const counterStore = persistentAtom('count', 0, {
  encode: JSON.stringify,
  decode: JSON.parse,
})

Updating the count value in localStorage works as expected. However, after a page reload, the Lit component does not show the value stored in localStorage, but 0 instead. After clicking the increment button, the value in localStorage is read, incremented, and then displayed in the Lit component.

import { LitElement, html } from 'lit';
import { StoreController } from '@nanostores/lit'
import { counterStore } from '../stores/count.js'

export class LitCounter extends LitElement {
  static properties = {
    count: {state: true}
  };

  constructor() {
    super()
    this.count = new StoreController(this, counterStore)
  }

  _increment(e) {
    counterStore.set(this.count.value + 1)
  }

  _current(e) {
    const current = this.count.value
    console.log(`current: ${current}`)
  }

  render() {
    return html`
      <div>
        <div>
          Count  ${this.count.value} (Lit)
        </div>
        <button @click="${this._increment}">
          + 1
        </button>
        <button @click="${this._current}">
          Current
        </button>
      </div>
    `;
  }
}

customElements.define('lit-counter', LitCounter);

I tried to integrate nanostores with StoreController and withStores, but both don't display the value stored in localStorage.
