Sorry, we crashed hard :(
No no my fault seriously I have too many tabs opened and I clicked the wrong button on the wrong tab. I screwed up. I should know better when I type a long reply.
Ah, I thought it was because we crashed. Well, still sucks. I wish Lemmy saved posts and replies temporarily on browser.
Nah haha, it has been going down a bit but no biggie. I don't think saving unfinished posts would be too feasible because you'd need to log each key stroke (onkeydown) and then save it in a database. It's pretty unrealistic. Don't worry about it!
Well, the idea was that the client or browser saves it - Beehaw would not save it in a database. I think that should be fairly easy to do tbh.
There's a few ways you can store the data client side, but it still requires to log each key stroke and save it. If I closed the tab the data would have to sit until it expires, I clear it, or I visit the site again and your javascript code removed it. It's not difficult to do, but unless there's a good reason it's usually more effort than it's worth.
